Planning application
Hedge End, Southampton, SO30 4TA
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
All Willow (Salix spp.) (G29) - Coppice. The Willows within Gully Mead have become overgrown, resulting in excessive shading of the watercourse and wetland habitat. Leading to reduced ground flora diversity, increased siltation, and limited regeneration of native marginal species. Coppicing will help restore structural diversity of the habitat, allowing more light to reach the ground and water,promoting ecological balance and enhancing biodiversity. We request consent for a 15-year period. This will allow the works to be undertaken on a phased, rotational schedule to ensure sustainable habitat management and ecological stability over time.

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.
