Planning application

T/26/101235

47 PINE ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 1JU

Refused Eastleigh Consent under Tree Preservation Orders

Proposal

3no. Oak - Prune the branches on the property side by 1-2m. Remove 2 damaged branches. The works are very basic in nature - the over-riding objective is to trim circa 1-2 metres from the Oak Tree branches that have grown towards the property. The acorns now drop onto parked cars in the drive and droppings from the birds perched on the overhanging branches fall onto cars and, when windy, blow onto windows and the porch. There are two medium sized (low hanging) branches that are damaged and would benefit from removal before winter. The overall appearance will be unchanged, this is solely trimming growth from the last couple of years.

What refusal means

The process from here

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

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.

    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.

    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.
