Works: Trees Small domestic
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
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.

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.

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.

11 VALLEY ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 1GQ
1 No. Oak (297-E) - Remove growth from trunk to height 3m. Growth consists of five lateral branches all from the south west side of the Oak's trunk. This will rebalance the oak's previous shape, restore its historical crown height (~5m from ground level), increase light and prevent low branch obstruction.

17 FOREST CLOSE, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 1NB
1no. Silver Birch (T1) - Dismantle the to ground level. Replant with new Silver Birch as like-for-like replacement. Tree is in decline and is shedding significant deadwood from canopy. Main stem has an old major pruning/wound point with significant dysfunction and deterioration around the union. Remaining upright stem originates above this compromised area, creating potential structural weak point. The pronounced change in stem direction also places additional mechanical loading and leverage on weakened section, particularly during high winds.
