Planning application
26/00098/TPC
18 Romsey Road Winchester Hampshire SO23 8TP
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

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.
