Planning application
18 Romsey Road Winchester Hampshire SO23 8TP
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
own and live at 18 Romsey Road, Winchester, SO23 8TP. In my garden I have a Judas tree which recently split at the trunk and partially fell. It is now held up by a combination of a retaining wall and a tree trunk I have put in to try and keep it up. I had an arborist round to look at the tree and he told me that it is diseased which is probably the reason that it has started to fall. I would like to apply to remove the tree as it is causing cracks in the retaining wall it is leaning on and is likely to fall down if I don't take it down
