Proposal
T6 - Yew tree Height 18m to reduce to no less than 15m, radial spread 11m to reduce to no less than 8m. Arboricultural Justification: To undertake a sympathetic crown reduction in accordance with BS3998:2010 to maintain the tree at a sustainable size relative to its growing environment and reducxe end-weight thoughout the crown. The works will lessen mechanical loading on extnded limbs, improve the tree's long-term structural integrity, and reduce the liklihood of branch failure during adverse weather conditions. 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. The works are minor in nature and intended to improve canopy structure and provide appropriate clearance beneath the crown. The proposed pruning involves the removal of small diameter branches only and will not adversely affect the health or stability of the tree. (Amended)

Decision issued: Application Permitted
What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
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.
