Proposal
We would like to apply to have the crown lifted on a Yew tree, (number 194421 on the plan), that overhangs the school's boundary from the grounds neighboring Hinton House due to health and safety concerns and recent incidents involving primary school aged children scratching their heads and faces on the low hanging branches that encroach into the children's play area. We would like to apply to have the crown of the tree lifted to a height of 3 meters from ground level on the school's side of the boundary in order to create a safer head height beneath it that will help to prevent any further similar incidents from occurring in the future. If approval is granted, any proposed works will be carried out by approved contractors under the instruction of Hampshire County Council's Arboriculture team. Data via plota.co.uk
