Planning application

1 SPITFIRE WAY, HAMBLE-LE-RICE, SOUTHAMPTON, SO31 4RX

Refused Eastleigh T/26/101026 Consent under Tree Preservation Orders

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

1no. Horse Chestnut (T1) - Reduce entire crown by approx 3m in height and lateral spread, back to suitable secondary growth points (as indicated by the red line on the submitted photograph). The proposed reduction represents approx 20–25% of the live crown volume. Required to maintain appropriate clearance over the public highway, manage encroachment towards neighbouring properties, reduce end-weight on extended regrowth, mitigate potential branch failure risk over a high-use vehicular route. Continue cyclical size management appropriate for a large tree in a constrained roadside setting. The intention is to retain the tree long-term while managing its size proportionately and responsibly within its urban environment.

    1no. Silver Birch (T1) - Fell to ground level due to poor physiological state of the tree which has been occurring over the last four years. There is no reasonable reduction of the crown possible that would prolong the life of the tree as tree is unlikely to respond well to pruning. Replant with another Birch.
