  1no. Oak (T121) – Crown reduce by up to 4 metres, maintaining a balanced and natural crown shape. A significant crack is present on the main stem of T121, visible on both sides, indicating that it likely extends through the full width of the stem. The proposed reduction aims to lessen the mechanical loading and significantly reduce the risk of structural failure. Subject to the tree’s response, further phased reduction may be considered in the future to establish a more compact and sustainable canopy form.

  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.
