A GIANT “Jack and the beanstalk” tree is ruining locals’ lives – but the council won’t chop it down.
Residents in Winchester, Hants, slammed the “grotesquely irresponsible” and “ludicrous” 45 foot high oak.
They say the tree was planted around 50 years ago by a previous homeowner on Canon Street who just “wanted something to do”.
But now it has branched into an “out of proportion” eyesore which overshadows the gardens of nearby properties – where the average house price is more than £600,000.
However, the council have refused to cut it down and placed it under a protection order.
The authorities said residents from a neighbouring street “appreciated” the tree.
The decision has sparked outrage among locals who are actually dealing with the daily repercussions of such an overwhelming tree.
Orla Williams, 40, moved into her terraced Grade II Listed home with her partner around two years ago.
The doctor said after moving in, several residents went to her about the oak.
She explained: “They were concerned that it is getting very large and that it could cause damage to their properties and potentially harm to people if it gets any larger, so they wanted it to be taken down.
“We applied to the council to have it removed and someone came to look at it.
“[The tree officer] said that they want to put a tree protection order on it.”
The mum-of-two also told how an “awful lot of detritus” falls from the tree in autumn and winter.
She added: “We appreciate that the tree is beautiful but it’s the wrong tree in the wrong place.
“It is quite sad to remove something like that but it is only going to get bigger and potentially cause damage to lots of properties which is the main concern.
“The council said they were concerned about removing it because it’s one of the only trees in the area.
“All of the local residents seem to be of the opinion that unfortunately, it’s the wrong tree in the wrong place.”
According to a council report, the tree officer visited Orla after receiving notice from the couple that it was due to be felled.
But he found the tree met the criteria for a provisional protection order, which was issued in February of this year.
A Winchester County Council meeting will take place next week to decide whether the tree status will change or not.
There are nine residents in total who have objected to the order.
Mark Pocock, a retired resident living on Canon Street, slammed the council’s decision to protect the tree as “ludicrous”.
He said: “As trees grow older they become more brittle.
“If it were to fall and damage properties or persons, I would say the responsibility would be entirely with the council – not the owners of those properties.
“I think putting a tree protection order on is grotesquely irresponsible of the council.
“It could be a danger to property and life.”
Nick Goff, 80, said he fears if the tree continues to grow, the roots underneath will damage a medieval wall in his garden, which was built in the Tudor era.
The retired British Airways pilot said: “The issue is that in 10 years time, that will be double the height and double the width.
“It put on six feet last year it it’s going to put on another six feet this year.”
He commissioned an independent report from a tree consultancy business.
The report stated while the tree, which is still a “teenager” is in “good physiological condition”.
But the officer also found it is “a large sized tree in a very small area” and so the tree protection order is “unjustified”.
The report also stated “the possibility of longer term damage to the retaining walls and footings of the adjacent properties as entirely foreseeable”.
“Some guy planted this as something to do 40 years ago,” Mr Goff continued “Now, we have got Jack and the Beanstalk.
“It’s not a historic tree – it’s a silly mistake.”
However, the council report issued ahead of next week’s meeting claimed these concerns were “speculative” and the tree “contributes meaningfully to local biodiversity and visual amenity”.
It added: “It is also the last significant tree in an area of land between Canon Street and St Swithun’s Street, enhancing the character of the conservation area.”
Retired resident Graham Rule, 62, blasted the decision as “irresponsible”.
He said: “We all love trees but that shouldn’t be there.
“The people who want the protection order, they don’t live here – its totally irresponsible.”
Winchester County Council was contacted for comment.
MARCUS RASHFORD has been spotted training on his own in the south of France as he prepares to reunite with Manchester United.
The 27-year-old spent the second half of the season on loan from his boyhood club at Aston Villa.
While there he impressed, scoring four goals and adding six assists, but he missed the final four games of the season through a hamstring injury.
That knock also kept Rashford from being named in Thomas Tuchel‘s latest England squad for clashes against Andorra and Senegal.
Earlier this month the star had been seen chatting to Swedish semi-pro padel star Jaki Palm and a female pal in St Tropez while on holiday.
And since then Rashford has shared pictures of himself getting back to training on his Instagram page.
Rashford shared a picture of him training on some decking with a dreamy ocean view as he lifted a leg up for balance.
Another snap depicted him in the middle of a run, while a third showed him taking some advice from his trainer.
He captioned the post: “Everyday hussle,” alongside a battery emoji, while the location of it was tagged as Cannes, France.
Rashford is said to have met Jaki when he visited Dubai in April to address his hamstring issue.

A source said: “Marcus went to have rehab for a hamstring injury in Dubai and was introduced to Jaki.
“She then joined him with his mates and another woman in St Tropez for a holiday. It’s all very casual but Jaki has told her friends she’s grown close to him.”
Rashford’s future is up in the air at the moment.
It is unclear whether Aston Villa intend to trigger the £40million purchase clause inserted into their loan transfer deal with the Red Devils.
However, European heavyweights Inter Milan and Barcelona are both said to be interested in a deal to land the ace.
Sources close to Rashford told exclusively told SunSport he doesn’t see a future at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim.
Amorim froze Rashford out of the Man Utd squad in December after he allegedly went on a night out before the Manchester derby.
Rashford has denied that allegation.
However, Amorim appears to be sticking to his guns and is prepared to sell the Carrington graduate to fund his rebuild of the squad.
When a real-life star grows up on screen, as you laugh, cry, and scream with them, saying goodbye after nearly a decade must feel hard. And that’s exactly what’s happening with the fans of Summer House who adore Paige DeSorbo. Since 2019, DeSorbo has been a central presence in Bravo’s hit reality series, and viewers […]
