Planning application

60 Christchurch Road Winchester Hampshire SO23 9SY

Granted Winchester 25/02454/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 (beech): Carry out radial reduction by no more than 2.5m with maximum pruning wounds of 50 mm. The tree has historically lost a large stem, leaving a wound that is going to continue to decay and is now a likely point of failure. The reduction is to safeguard the retention of the tree and retain as much amenity as feasibly possible. The reduction to current pruning points is insufficient in my opinion, ad the canopy must be pruned in such a wway as to mimic the retrenchment. (Amended) T7 (Weeping beech: not on survey schedule). This tree is covered by the conservation area but not TPOd. Reduce overextended limb on western aspect by no more than 3m with pruning wounds no greater than 50 mm. (Amended)
