Planning application

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

Refused Eastleigh T/26/101728 Consent under Tree Preservation Orders

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

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.

  • T/26/101855 Granted

    11 VALLEY ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 1GQ

    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.

    DERWENT, 28 LAKEWOOD ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 1EW

    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.

    82 HILTINGBURY ROAD, CHANDLER'S FORD, EASTLEIGH, SO53 5NZ

    1 No. Sweet Chestnut (T1) - Crown lift 3x lower branches by 3.5m to allow room underneath tree to stop the customer hitting their heads. 1 No. Beech (T2) - Crown lift lower branches by 5m and reduce branch back away from strawberry tree to give a 2m clearance, to allow ground clearance.

    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.
