Planning application
St Giles House St Giles Hill Winchester Hampshire SO23 0HH
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
We have recently received approval to have some tree on our property reduced and whilst Ben came to visit, we discussed our magnolia tree as well as our fir tree. The fir tree is not doing as well as it could and we discussed how it could be improved. We have decided to reduce the magnolia tree (already approved by you) to allow a bit more light to get to the fir tree but there are also 2 small self seeded trees on the other side of the wall that are restricting growth. We would like to apply to get these 2 small self seeded trees removed. They are Plum and Macrocarpa trees. They are on the turning area on our road which will in due time also restrict the use of this turning area.
