3 Copperwood Holt Close Wickham Fareham Hampshire PO17 5EY
Proposal
I wish to remove the following from a single ash tree one subsidiary trunk, the 2m stump of a previously removed trunk, part of a branch overhanging my neighbour's property. The reasons for removal are to improve the overall health of the surrounding trees, maintain the amenity value of the group of trees, minimise the risk of branches falling into my neighbour's garden. I do not wish to plant a replacement because no tree is being felled. several trees have been planted since the TPO was established (copper beech, English oak and hornbeam) there really isn't space in the garden

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Winchester for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
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.

Wickham Lodge Cottage Winchester Road Wickham PO17 5EX
The Leylandii at the front boundary of our property has been at some point topped so all current branches and tree growth are offshoot branches. This has resulted in many dead lower branches and growth towards the road where the public walk. I am seeking permission to trim back the branches hanging over the pavement to prevent personal injury to pedestrians on the highway. This would involve crown thinning the dead branches up to 3 metres and trimming back up to 1.5 metres towards the boundary wall.

4 Leylandii tress all in need of dead branch removal. The fence for reference is 1.2 metres high. The application is to remove dead branches no higher than 1.8m as they are healthy above this. I also plan to remove any ivy that may cause damage to the trees up to 1.8m and clear the area beneath them as the previous owners left it in a bit of a state of disrepair.

The propsoed reduction will retain the tree's natural form and amenity value whilst establishing an appropriate management cycle for this mature specimen. T7 - Sycamore to take back to source the first 4no branches at 35mm stem diameter Arboricultural Justification: To remove four small lower branches by pruning bak to source.

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.
