Summary
The applicant is seeking council permission to reduce the crown of an oak tree by about one metre all around, and to cut back a low horizontal limb on the same tree. A silver birch is also proposed to be reduced by up to 2.5 metres in height and up to one metre on the sides. Both trees are covered by a Tree Preservation Order, which means no significant work can take place without approval. The property is in a rural Hampshire village, with around 133 homes and other buildings nearby.
