Planning application
South East of Wildern Farmhouse, Hedge End, Southampton, SO30 4QR
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
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.

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.

8 PARK VIEW, HEDGE END, SOUTHAMPTON, SO30 4EP
2no. Alders (A & B) - Pollarding to 3m. Dieback in crowns and in close proximity to the ditch and highway stone path to rear of garden. Trees were listed as mature in 1994 and after a further 30yrs are now coming towards the end of their normal life (60-100 years), they drop dead and rotten wood throughout the year. One tree had split into multiple trunks in its infancy and the weight of these individual trunks, hang over a path regularly used by school children which represents an additional concern. The intentions of these works is to extend the life of these trees and associated amenity by decreasing end-weight and thus reduce the risk of branch failure and support long-term tree health and amenity. Pollarding will also encourage fresh and vigorous growth and reduce the risk of them being uprooted in strong winds, several large nearby trees have been uprooted by wind including 2 mature oaks. Work will also allow further light into the greater general wooded area where many small tree are already growing and fighting for light and space to grow, including a mature Oak hidden behind these 2 trees. Future, it is expected that these trees will need pollarding back to 3m every 3-5 years. There is also a juvenile holly tree intertwined between and within these 2 trees, will be saved during this work, but it is suggested that this tree will be trimmed to ensure an aesthetic looking tree line during the process. Suggested that this work be carried out during the winter months to ensure minimum stress to the tree and cause minimum effect on bird life.

11 VALLEY ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 1GQ
1 No. Oak (297-E) - Remove growth from trunk to height 3m. Growth consists of five lateral branches all from the south west side of the Oak's trunk. This will rebalance the oak's previous shape, restore its historical crown height (~5m from ground level), increase light and prevent low branch obstruction.

1no. Redwood (T4, originates from no. 30) - Crown lift of bottom 9 branches, to increase the amount of light reaching ground level. This is necessitated due to the dense nature of the tree's branches. This amounts to no more than a crown lift of 1m.

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.
