Proposal
1no. Sweet Chestnut (T1) - Remove. Leaning, split trunk and may fall at any time. Request for removal to avoid hazard. 1no. Goat Willows (T2) - Remove. Growing together underneath the canopy of the beech trees and both growing horizontally over the boundary onto 8 Welles Road affecting there studio building. Due to the angle and lack of light we would like to request for their removal as requested by the neighbours. 2no. Oak (T3 & T4) -T3 and T4 are competing. T4 shadowed, by retaining a wildlife snag to give T3 more space to mature. T4 has been recommended to be dismantled leaving a 5m pecking post. 1no. Oak (T5) - Oak near to buildings, in decline, branches frequently falling. Pollard by removing approx. 4/4.5 meters of crown, to control size, prevent the large branches from snapping and also promote a longer lifespan. 1no. Oak (T6) - (originates from no. 54) - Reduce branches all overhanging the garden & property by 3 to 3.5m to allow clearance from building and mains electric cable. To allow more light in back garden due to over shading.

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.
