Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
1 no. Common Beech (T1) - Fell to ground level. Meripilus giganteus has fruited annually at the base of the tree, indicating an established fungal colonisation of the structural root system. Recent inspections have identified a noticeable decline in physiological condition when compared with previous years. Significant reduction in canopy density. Progressive thinning throughout the crown. Increased areas of sparse foliage. Premature leaf discolouration. Reduced vitality compared with adjacent healthy Beech specimens growing under identical site conditions. Replacement planting can be undertaken in accordance with the Council's requirements.

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.

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.
