Planning application
T/25/100588
South East of Wildern Farmhouse, Hedge End, Southampton, SO30 4QR
Proposal
1no. Group Oak (G50) – Reduce lateral branches extending over the garden by up to 3m, ensuring the canopy retains a natural and balanced form. The woodland-edge trees are developing asymmetrically with growth biased towards the property. The reduction will help re-balance the canopies, minimise excessive branch extension, and maintain the long-term health and structure of the trees.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

LAND TO THE WEST OF 1 PARK VIEW, HEDGE END, SO30 4EP
2no. Oak (T122 & T123) - Crown reduction on the roadside aspect only, reducing branches by up to 3m while maintaining a natural crown form. Long branches extend over the highway. Selective reduction will decrease end-weight, reduce the risk of branch failure, encourage a more balanced canopy and support long-term tree health and amenity.

LAND TO THE WEST OF 1 PARK VIEW, HEDGE END, SO30 4EP
1no. Group of Willows (G48) – Regular cyclical coppicing is proposed as the most appropriate management method to reduce this risk and ensure the continued safety of the Highway. Risk of branch or stem failure over the carriageway.

Land to the rear of 60-64 Thistle Road, Hedge End, SO30 4TS
1no. Oak (T2) - Reduce crown by 2-3 m all over to leave a finished branch length of approximately 5 m north, 1m East, 4m South and 7m West for management. 1no. Oak (T4) - Fell tree for risk management 1no. Oak (T5) - Reduce crown by 2-3 m to previous pruning points for management.

T/25/100662 Granted
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.

104 PITMORE ROAD, EASTLEIGH, SO50 4LW
1no. Oak (T13) - Crown reduction by 4m, also back to previous cut lines. Drip line for tree is currently within 3m of the rear of the property (104 Pitmore Road). Mature oak tree exhibiting extended lateral growth toward adjacent residential properties, resulting in significant end-weight on primary and secondary branches. The proposed reduction is intended to reduce end-weight, improve biomechanical stability, and mitigate foreseeable risk to property, while retaining the trees’ natural form, amenity value, and long-term health.

T/26/101492 Granted
13-17 HURSLEY ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 2FW
1no. Mature Oak (T1) – Crown reduction by reducing the lateral spread of the canopy by up to 3m on the longest extending limbs and by up to 2m elsewhere around the crown, maintaining a natural and balanced canopy form. The tree is situated within a commercial car park and overhangs adjacent pavement and highway areas. The crown also extends towards nearby telephone and overhead power lines. The proposed works form part of an ongoing cyclical maintenance programme to manage the size and spread of the crown in relation to surrounding infrastructure and site usage. A visible stress line is present from the principal stem union extending down the main trunk, indicating a potential structural weakness. The proposed crown reduction will lessen end-weight and sail effect throughout the canopy, thereby reducing loading on the main scaffold limbs and stem unions. This will help minimise the likelihood of branch or stem failure and improve the long-term management of risk associated with the tree's location above areas of regular pedestrian and vehicular activity. The works will retain the tree's amenity value while promoting its continued safe retention within the landscape.
