Planning application

T/26/101728

39 CASTLE LANE, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 4AH

Decided Eastleigh Consent under Tree Preservation Orders

Proposal

2no. Oak (G1) growing as a single canopy. - Reduce the overall canopy height from approx. 20m to no less than 16m, with pruning cuts not exceeding 55mm in diameter. - Reduce the overall canopy spread from approx. 19m to no less than 16m, with pruning cuts not exceeding 40mm in diameter. - Crown lift to 5.5m above the adjacent highway to provide statutory clearance. - Remove epicormic growth from the stems up to a height of 6m above ground level. The works are intended to provide appropriate clearance over the highway, maintain safe vehicular access, and manage the size of the combined canopy while retaining the trees' overall form, health, and amenity value. The works constitute routine arboricultural management and are limited in extent to ensure the long-term vitality and structural integrity of the trees.

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.
