Planning application

67 HOCOMBE ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 5QA

Refused Eastleigh T/26/101128 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. Oak (T1) - Crown reduction of up to 2m throughout the canopy, pruning back to suitable natural growth points. Works are proposed as part of an ongoing cyclical maintenance programme for this tree. 1no. Sweet Chestnut (T2) - Remove. Tree exhibits a large wound at base of stem, with approx 75% canopy dieback. Tree appears suppressed by a larger adjacent Oak, contributing to its decline. Due to the poor physiological condition and limited long-term viability, removal is recommended. 1no. Sweet Chestnut (T3) - Fell. Tree has been previously struck by lightning, resulting in a significant longitudinal wound extending from the base of stem to upper crown. This defect has compromised structural integrity of the tree. Replace with a suitable species is recommended. 1no. Oak ( T4 ) - Reduction of approx 2m on the side facing property, to restore structural balance and form, as part of an ongoing programme of tree management and maintenance. Tree exhibits a significantly unbalanced canopy, with growth predominantly weighted to one side.

    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.

    1no. Oak (T1) - Reduce lower lateral limbs by approximately 2m. To give a 4-5m clearance from the property . Pruning cuts to be kept below 50mm. To stop the tree encroaching on to the property & to gain light into the property. 1no. Oak (T2) - Remove lowest limb going over garden. Removing this limb will not impact on the tree’s health or value to the area but will gain more light into the garden & balance the tree up.

    1no. Oak (T1) - Fell to ground level and consider replacement planting with a suitable tree to maintain tree cover at the site. Tree is exhibiting symptoms consistent with Acute Oak Decline, including progressive crown dieback, thinning of the upper canopy and areas of bark loss at the base of the stem. Sawdust/frass is also present around areas of bark loss, indicating insect activity within the affected areas. Tree appears to be in advanced decline and, given its proximity to the neighbouring property and the footpath, removal is considered the most appropriate course of action to manage the associated risk.
