19 BENMORE GARDENS, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 1TT
Proposal
1no. Oak (T2) - Crown reduction by approx. 2–3m over the garden side only as per the photo submitted. Focusing primarily on the over-extended lateral canopy on one side to reduce lateral spread by approx. 2–3m due to structural imbalance. The tree exhibits a significant asymmetrical crown, with disproportionate growth extending laterally. Elevated risk of limb failure, particularly in high winds. Maintain natural shape and balance. Remove excessive end-weight from extended limbs. Retain overall tree health and structural integrity. Improves long-term sustainability of the tree. Maintain local amenity. Tree will be inspected prior to works for nesting birds and protected species. Works will be scheduled outside the main bird nesting season where possible (March–August), or halted if active nests are found.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

DRAPER TOOLS LTD, HURSLEY ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 1YF
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.

104 PITMORE ROAD, EASTLEIGH, SO50 4LW
1no. Oak (T13) - Crown reduction by 4m, also back to previous cut lines. Drip line for tree is currently within 3m of the rear of the property (104 Pitmore Road). Mature oak tree exhibiting extended lateral growth toward adjacent residential properties, resulting in significant end-weight on primary and secondary branches. The proposed reduction is intended to reduce end-weight, improve biomechanical stability, and mitigate foreseeable risk to property, while retaining the trees’ natural form, amenity value, and long-term health.

T/26/101492 Granted
13-17 HURSLEY ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 2FW
1no. Mature Oak (T1) – Crown reduction by reducing the lateral spread of the canopy by up to 3m on the longest extending limbs and by up to 2m elsewhere around the crown, maintaining a natural and balanced canopy form. The tree is situated within a commercial car park and overhangs adjacent pavement and highway areas. The crown also extends towards nearby telephone and overhead power lines. The proposed works form part of an ongoing cyclical maintenance programme to manage the size and spread of the crown in relation to surrounding infrastructure and site usage. A visible stress line is present from the principal stem union extending down the main trunk, indicating a potential structural weakness. The proposed crown reduction will lessen end-weight and sail effect throughout the canopy, thereby reducing loading on the main scaffold limbs and stem unions. This will help minimise the likelihood of branch or stem failure and improve the long-term management of risk associated with the tree's location above areas of regular pedestrian and vehicular activity. The works will retain the tree's amenity value while promoting its continued safe retention within the landscape.
