Official description

Norway Maple (Acer Platanoides), Tag No. 2379 (Tree does not have a TPO according to Winchester Council TPO map) The client's patio is unusable due to the amount of bird droppings (See attachments 'Photo 1' & 'Photo 2') coming from birds perching in the overhanging tree. The tree overhangs the client's boundary line by approximately four meters and the number of birds has significantly increased since the adjacent tree; another Norway Maple (Tag No. 2380) of similar size was removed in December 2025. My client has also sent an email at the end of June to both the property management company and a member of the Residents Association to inform of the intended works but has had no reply. The scope of works is to reduce the east south-eastern side by approximately 2-3m back to towards the boundary line, targeting horizontal branches that birds are likely to sit on, while leaving angled/diagonal branches to maintain the natural shape of the tree.
