7 PENRHYN CLOSE, EASTLEIGH, SO50 4QF
1 No. Silver Birch (Tree 1) - Crown reduction of 3-4m and crown thinning by 10%. Tree drops deadwood twigs and small branches continually, larger branches could cause injury to people passing in the street or visiting the property. This would benefit the neighbour installing solar panels as the tree casts shadow and also continually clogs the guttering. Tree surgeon is concerned about a rot pocket above a limb that overhangs the driveway and footpath. This limb also impedes a street lamp. Thinning and reduction would reduce the load on the tree.

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.
