Planning application
128 KINGSWAY, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 5DW
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 – Quercus robur (Oak) Background: The tree was deadwooded within the past 24 months; however, it has continued to decline. Fungal brackets are now present around the base of the tree on all sides, indicating potential structural decay. Justification: Due to the tree’s close proximity to the property—with the main trunk located within inches of the structure—and its ongoing decline, it now presents a significant risk should failure occur. Proposed works: Removal of the tree and replacement with a standard Quercus robur (Oak) to be replanted in a more suitable location within the rear garden, ensuring appropriate future growth and relationship to nearby structures. The replacement tree will help to ensure overall amenity value within the garden. A new location within the garden away from site of existing fungus will allow a better chance of survival for new tree.

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.
