5 WILDERNESS HEIGHTS, WEST END, SOUTHAMPTON, SO18 3PS
Sycamore (T1) - Crown reduction back to previous reduction points and removal of epicormic growth from the trunk lower than the main crown. The work is for general health and maintenance of the tree. The tree has not had any work done on it for about 7 years and it is now considerably taller than the house. The main bulk of the tree is also on a divide in the trunk that is leaning towards the house. .

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.

1no. Beech (T1) - Remove. Tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability to No. 19. It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree(s).

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.
