Proposal
1no. Magnolia (T1) - Tree remove in its entirety. Located on boundary line between our & next door property. Tree has grown considerably over the years, as a result the bole of tree has caused the wall supporting the side of the driveway to collapse. Additionally, the root growth is starting to affect neighbour’s driveway & the damage will get worse & require re-paving. Following discussion with the neighbour, it is agreed that we will have the tree removed in its entirety.

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.

66 VICTORIA ROAD, NETLEY ABBEY, SOUTHAMPTON, SO31 5DQ
1no. Cedar (1) - Fell. 1no. Juniper (2) - Fell. It is proposed that both trees are felled as the Cedar tree is pushing against the fence separating the house and neighbour's house. The Juniper tree has also grown very large and both trees are blocking sunlight into the garden. The area where the trees were will potentially be replaced with vegetables or plants. Propose to plant a tree - possibly a Amelanchier Canadensis where marked X on the plan attached instead.

49 VICTORIA ROAD, NETLEY ABBEY, SOUTHAMPTON, SO31 5DQ
1no. Unspecified Species - Remove. Tree has grown into the garage and parking area serving the neighbouring properties . Should the tree remain in place, it will require regular professional maintenance, including pruning to prevent further encroachment into neighbouring land and the garage area. Given the size and location of the tree, this work would likely need to be carried out on a recurring basis, potentially every year. Unfortunately, the ongoing cost of such maintenance is not something we can reasonably afford in the long term. The tree is causing several issues. Prevents from installing a secure boundary fence along the rear of the garden. This leaves the rear of the property open and accessible from the neighbouring garage area, creating an ongoing security concern. There is evidence that a brick boundary wall previously existed in this location. The remaining sections of wall and the position of the tree suggest that its growth has contributed to the wall's collapse over time. The tree is also heavily covered with ivy, which has become increasingly difficult to manage. The ivy is now spreading into neighbouring properties and the adjoining garage area, creating maintenance issues and obscuring the condition of the tree itself. We believe that tree's removal is the most appropriate and practical long-term solution.

104 PITMORE ROAD, EASTLEIGH, SO50 4LW
1no. Oak (T13) - Crown reduction by 4m, also back to previous cut lines. Drip line for tree is currently within 3m of the rear of the property (104 Pitmore Road). Mature oak tree exhibiting extended lateral growth toward adjacent residential properties, resulting in significant end-weight on primary and secondary branches. The proposed reduction is intended to reduce end-weight, improve biomechanical stability, and mitigate foreseeable risk to property, while retaining the trees’ natural form, amenity value, and long-term health.

T/26/101492 Granted
13-17 HURSLEY ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 2FW
1no. Mature Oak (T1) – Crown reduction by reducing the lateral spread of the canopy by up to 3m on the longest extending limbs and by up to 2m elsewhere around the crown, maintaining a natural and balanced canopy form. The tree is situated within a commercial car park and overhangs adjacent pavement and highway areas. The crown also extends towards nearby telephone and overhead power lines. The proposed works form part of an ongoing cyclical maintenance programme to manage the size and spread of the crown in relation to surrounding infrastructure and site usage. A visible stress line is present from the principal stem union extending down the main trunk, indicating a potential structural weakness. The proposed crown reduction will lessen end-weight and sail effect throughout the canopy, thereby reducing loading on the main scaffold limbs and stem unions. This will help minimise the likelihood of branch or stem failure and improve the long-term management of risk associated with the tree's location above areas of regular pedestrian and vehicular activity. The works will retain the tree's amenity value while promoting its continued safe retention within the landscape.
