  Little Symonds West Street Hambledon Hampshire PO7 4RW

  T1 Copper Beech - Reduce extended lateral limbs on the eastern side of the canopy by up to 1.5m to suitable growth points, maintaining a natural crown form in accordance with BS3998. The eastern side of the canopy has extended towards the neighbouring property, resulting in increased encroachment. The proposed reduction will provide reasonable clearance from the property boundary, maintain the tree?s overall shape and balance, and help manage future encroachment whilst retaining the amenity value of the tree. T2 Lime - Remove southern basal stem/sucker to ground level. A secondary stem has developed from the base of the tree and is growing towards the neighbouring property at an unfavourable angle due to suppression from the main canopy. Removal of this stem will prevent further encroachment, improve the form of the retained tree, and reduce future management requirements. T3 Ash - Re-pollard to the previous pollard points at approximately 2m above ground level. The tree has been historically managed as a pollard, with established pollard points located at approximately 2m above ground level. Cavities are present within the historic pollard heads, and significant regrowth has developed from these points. Re-pollarding is recommended to reduce loading on the historic pollard heads and associated areas of decay, thereby reducing the risk of structural failure and prolonging the safe retention of the tree. The current regrowth also extends towards nearby overhead lines, and the proposed works will provide appropriate clearance whilst maintaining the tree in its traditional pollard form. G1 Group of 5 Yew Trees Crown raise to approximately 3m above ground level on the northern side and reduce the northern side of the group by up to 2.5m to suitable growth points. Reduce extended lateral branches overhanging the access driveway from the eastern side of the first yew tree by up to 2.5m. The proposed works are to manage encroachment into the garden and over the

  St Christophers High Street Twyford Hampshire SO21 1NH

  T1- Walnut: Permission to carry out a full canopy reduction, reducing the height of the tree by between 2-3m, and the lateral aspects by 1-2m. The tree is getting very large for it's surroundings as well as causing interference with the road, and structure beneath. The Owner wishes to contain the tree to a size appropriate for he garden. T2- Lime: Full canopy reduction by between 50-60%. The tree is incredibly close to the house and blocks a huge amount of light. It has also lost two limbs over the summer months, which have narrowly missed vehicles using the turning space at the end of the road, as well as a high number of pedestrians. This work would allow the tree to be retained at a more appropriate size, and greatly minimising the risk of any further limb failures for an area with such high footfall. T3- Indian Bean Tree: Full canopy reduction by between 2 and 3m. The tree is far too large for it's location, impeeding both the houses and also the pavement. This reduction would allow the the tree to be retained whilst avoiding impact on surrounding structures and footpaths.
