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

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.

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.

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.
