T1: Copper beech. Fell. The tree is exhibiting extensive colonisation by Meripilus giganteum, with fungal brackets all over the root plate. There are also juvenile Armillaria mellea brackets in this area and there is significant leaf loss and poor canopy development to the south aspect of the tree. Overall, the tree sits within an exceptionally high target area, and the effects of this pathogen on beech are much researched: it is parasitic, and attributed to white rot in general, but also simultaneous soft rot. It decays structural roots and buttresses, and is attributed to wind throw of trees. Although a high amenity tree, its retention cannot be justified in conjunction with the proximity to the property.

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.

DERWENT, 28 LAKEWOOD ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 1EW
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.

82 HILTINGBURY ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 5NZ
1 No. Sweet Chestnut (T1) - Crown lift 3x lower branches by 3.5m to allow room underneath tree to stop the customer hitting their heads. 1 No. Beech (T2) - Crown lift lower branches by 5m and reduce branch back away from strawberry tree to give a 2m clearance, to allow ground clearance.

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.
