Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
1no. Beech (T1) - Reduce Eastern aspect of canopy growing towards property by 2.5/3m back to suitable growth points. Reduce in height by 2m to match. Tree has grown asymmetrically due to surrounding vegetation suppression and would benefit from balancing the crown away from the property.

2 CHERRYWOOD, UPPER NORTHAM ROAD, HEDGE END, SOUTHAMPTON, SO30 4LA
1 no. Oak (T1) - Crown reduction by up to 1.5m and removal of the branch overhanging garage (risk of property damage if to fall, as the tree splits into two at about 5 feet from ground level they deem these to be weaker and crown reduction to even weight load to avoid tree splitting in half). 1 no. Oak (T2) - Fell, tree is in bad condition.

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.

Land to rear of 64 Thistle Road, Hedge End, Southampton SO30 0TT,
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.

50 THISTLE ROAD, HEDGE END, SOUTHAMPTON, SO30 0TT
1no. Oak (T1, originates from HETC land) - Overhanging branches in garden to be trimmed to fenceline, about 2-3m. Tree leaning against fence. 2 no. Alder (T2 & T3 originates from HETC land) - Overhanging branches into garden cut back to fence line, about 2-3m. Reason: Trees top heavy, more overhanging branches into garden with less counter balancing branches into woods. Pruning to fence line will re-balance trees & be less dangerous in bad weather. Greater prevention of damage to property or injury.

30 RANDALL ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 5AL
1no. Silver Birch (T1) - Fell to ground level due to poor physiological state of the tree which has been occurring over the last four years. There is no reasonable reduction of the crown possible that would prolong the life of the tree as tree is unlikely to respond well to pruning. Replant with another Birch.

1no. Oak (T1, originating from no. 24 Thornbury Wood, SO53 5DQ) - Reduce lateral limbs extending over garden and towards property by approx. 2.5m to even up the tree and provide a natural and balanced shape. Majority of branches are to the Southeast side of tree. Pruning will be carried out back to natural growth points to improve light levels within garden and minimise overhang towards house, while preserving the tree's overall form and health.
