Proposal
1Group Ash (G1) - Reduce by 3-4m as trees show signs of dieback 1no. Ash (T1) - Reduce by 4-5m as tree has dieback 1Group Conifers (G2) - Crown lift to 5m over highway to reduce risk of damage to vehicles. 1Group Ash (G3) - Reduce laterals extending over road by a max 3m due to recent limb loss highlighted by EBC. 1Group Ash & Poplar (G4) - Reduce group. One particular poplar significantly leans over No.1 Ramalley lane that should be felled. Fell failed poplar. Group lean over neighbouring property and two poplars have previously failed. By reducing trees by 8-10m (roughly half) it would reduce risk whilst retaining the screening. Semi-mature ash within group - Reduce by 5m -6m/similar height due to lean and dieback. 1no. Willow (T2) - Pollard (6m reduction). Previously pollard. To reduce risk of failure of new growth. 1Group Ash (G5) - Prune back from neighbouring property by 1-2m to prevent tree encroaching further into garden and reduce weight of branches over garden. 1Group Unspecified (G6) - Crown lift all species along top carpark to 3-4m depending on suitable pruning points to reduce risk of damage to cars/trees.

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.
