Planning application
Land to rear of 64 Thistle Road, Hedge End, Southampton SO30 0TT,
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
3no. Oak (T2, T3 & T5, originating from beyond rear boundary of No. 64 & 62) - Fell & treat stumps with eco-plugs. Works proposed as remedy to the differential foundation movement at No. 64 & ensure long-term stability of building. To limit extent & need for engineering repair works. An alternative to felling, pruning/pollarding would not provide a reliable or sustainable remedy to the subsidence. Other potential means of mitigation, including root barriers, would not be effective or appropriate. There is scope for replanting of native species more suitable for this site. Both No.64 and 62 are experiencing issues caused by the Oak trees, removal will benefit two properties.

Rear of 56 Thistle Road, Hedge End, Southampton, SO30 0TT
1no. Oak (T204) - Fell. Exhibiting symptoms of decline, including low overall vigour and reduced canopy density. Decay at the base of the tree is of concern, as it could compromise the tree’s ability to safely support its own weight. Its proximity to residential properties and footpath and risk of structural failure is increasing. Retention of the tree would pose an ongoing safety risk that cannot be effectively mitigated through pruning or management. Felling is proposed for public safety and risk management. To ensure ecological value is retained, the stem will be reduced and retained at a height of approx. 3m to provide standing deadwood habitat, and the main stem will be left within the adjacent woodland to allow for natural decay and biodiversity benefit. No replant is proposed due to the natural regeneration of the woodland.

7 PENRHYN CLOSE, EASTLEIGH, SO50 4QF
1 No. Silver Birch (Tree 1) - Crown reduction of 3-4m and crown thinning by 10%. Tree drops deadwood twigs and small branches continually, larger branches could cause injury to people passing in the street or visiting the property. This would benefit the neighbour installing solar panels as the tree casts shadow and also continually clogs the guttering. Tree surgeon is concerned about a rot pocket above a limb that overhangs the driveway and footpath. This limb also impedes a street lamp. Thinning and reduction would reduce the load on the tree.

52 MALLARDS ROAD, BURSLEDON, SOUTHAMPTON, SO31 8LQ
1 No. Oak (T1) - Reduce crown height by about 2–3m, north aspect by about 1–2m, and east, south, west aspects by about 2–3m. Dimensions after pruning will be about 14m in height, and crown spreads of about 5–6m in each direction. Works are in the interest of reasonable tree management given its proximity to nearby structures. Works will not cause significant harm to the tree, and as the profile will remain mostly unchanged from public viewpoints, it will have no detrimental impact on its contribution to local character.
