Planning application

26/00057/TPO

34 Ashling Park Road Denmead Waterlooville Hampshire PO7 6EH

Refused Winchester Tree Preservation Order

Proposal

T1 London Plane - the request is to reduce the crown of the tree by 40% . To get the tree back into shape and under control, and reduce the large amount of branches overhanging my garden, the tree currently covers 3 gardens,causing regular issues, namely health issues (continuous cough during leaf season) due to the make of tree, leaf, seeds and loose branches that fall regularly. We are looking to reduce the crown by about 6 - 8 Metres, and even the tree as currently it is heavy on one side, namely over my garden. The work proposed is in the interests of good arboricultural management to maintain the trees health and in the interest of good tree husbandry and visual amenities in the area. The work will be undertaken by a qualified arborist with all associated health and safety regulations applied. TBC

What refusal means

The process from here

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

    Currawong George Eyston Drive Winchester Hampshire SO22 4PE

    T1-T5 Beech - All 5 trees have extensive squirrel damage in upper limbs and branches. These are now posing a safety hazard to the owners & neighbours. Suggestion is to shorten damaged limbs and branches as appropriate to their lengths and amount of damage to reduce the risk of failure. Estimated reduction is maximum 3m but less if safe to do so & leaving decent growth points. 1 limb recently broke & fell into owners garden & the climbing inspection was undertaken & the damage was highlighted.
