37 WILDERNESS HEIGHTS, WEST END, SOUTHAMPTON, SO18 3PS
Proposal
1no. Sweet Chestnut - Reduce selected lateral branches by up to 1.5m, specifically the branches extending towards roofline, guttering and conservatory area, and those overhanging the neighbouring garden. The branches would be pruned back to suitable growth points, maintaining the natural shape and balance of the crown. No topping, heavy reduction or removal of the tree is proposed. The overhanging branches are contributing to repeated blockage of gutters through leaf, twig and seed debris. This has caused rainwater to overflow from the gutters and run into the conservatory, creating a risk of ongoing water ingress and property damage. Reduction is intended to provide reasonable clearance from the guttering and conservatory roofline, reduce future gutter obstruction, and help prevent further water overflow into the conservatory. The works would also reduce the extent of overhang into the neighbouring garden, help maintain good neighbour relations, and improve light penetration to plants beneath and around the tree.

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.

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.
