Planning application
5 BRUNEL CLOSE, HEDGE END, SOUTHAMPTON, SO30 2TA
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
2no. Oak - Remove both trees & to replant with wildlife-friendly native tree. Trees regularly drop large branches, creating a risk of serious injury, acorns cause a slipping hazard. Trees have grown to a size that block a significant amount of light to the house & garden. Shading has contributed to dampness inside the property, Trees have clearly outgrown the available space in the garden. Their size & spread pose an ongoing risk to the property, neighbouring boundaries & safe use of the outdoor space.

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.
