Planning application

76 Holly Hill Southampton SO16 7EY

Granted Southampton 21/00295/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Silver Birch (T1)- Fell tree to ground level. T1 is situated to the rear boundary of 76 Holly Hill. The boundary tree line is made up of Silver birch and Beech, with dense mixed understory shrubs. The two Silver birch covered in the tree preservation order (G90) are in close proximity to each other. T1 has a slender stem with a noticeable extensive lean to the upper canopy due to the neighboring competition. At 6m above ground level to the main-stem there are visible decay pockets and fungal brackets of Formitopsis betulina. Recommendation to fell to ground level with no proposal to replant due to the proximity of the neighbouring Birch and Beech which will be retained.
