Planning application
Land adjacent to Botley Road, West End, Southampton, SO30 3JW
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
1no. Oak (T1) - Crown reduce height by 2-3m, north aspect by 2-3m, east aspect by 3-4m, south aspect by 3-4m and west aspect by 2-3m. Dimensions after pruning will be around 20m in height, and crown spreads of around 8-9m in each direction. Works are necessary in the interest of tree risk management and are in response to the letter issued by Hampshire County Council Highways' arboricultural officer (attached in docs). The works will not cause significant harm to the tree, and as the profile of it will remain mostly unchanged from public viewpoints, it will have no detrimental impact on its contribution to local character.

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.

T/26/102073 Decided
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.
