52 CHALK HILL, WEST END, SOUTHAMPTON, SO18 3DB
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.

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.
