Proposal

1no. Sweet Chestnut (T1) (tree in the photo supplied) - A dead top of the tree.

Sweet Chestnut (T2) - Reduce height by 2.5m and sides by up to 1.5m to take weight/unhealthiest parts out of it and prevent issues in future. All work would be carried out to a BS3998 and with the intention on prolonging both the trees lives.

    1no. Beech (T1) - Large cavity starts at approx 8m, 0.45m deep & 1.8m high, found after removing hornets nest. There could be severe damage to either property or highway if tree fails. Replace with std Beech. 1no. Oak (T2) - Reduce side of tree towards house by 1.5m-2m, back to suitable growth points. Reduction will leave tree in a natural & balanced shape. Tree is heavily one-sided towards property & excessively shading upstairs rooms on that side of house. Tree is part of a line of trees in back garden, as such the work will not be visible from road or negatively affect amenity value from road.

    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.
