  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
