Granted Southampton 25/00307/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T6 Birch (Silver) - Fell close to ground level (approx 50mm). T11 Oak (Turkey) - Crown reduce and reshape asymmetric crown to West. Prune hung up limb. Sever Ivy at ground level and strip to 2m and remove section. Clear vegetation. Re-inspect T36 Hornbeam - Fell dead hung up tree in crown. T39 Beech - Clear vegetation. Reinspect. Cut back branches from building to give clearance of 2m. T45 Cypress (Lawson) - Fell close to ground level (approx 50mm). T48 Ash (Common) - Fell close to ground level (approx 50mm). T49 Ash (Common) - Fell close to ground level (approx 50mm). TG1 Mixed species group: Holly, Laurel, Sycamore - Cut back trim branches from building gardens and car park to give clearance of 2-3m. Fell dead stems and thin coppice or cut back Laurel to enable standard tree inspection. TG2 Lawson Cypress group - Annual trimming maintenance W1 Mixed species wood; Oak, Beech Sycamore with Laurel, Holly, Cypress - Fell dead / dying Ash / Sycamore trees. Remove major dead wood over site and gardens. Fell stems with high H:D ratio where leaning and overhanging accessible areas. Fell dead stems where liable to fail into gardens. Priority 2 works rose to 14 trees and 1 woodland (2024: 8 trees and 1 wood), primarily involving the removal of several declining and structurally compromised trees, including 2 Ash exhibiting advanced symptoms of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (Ash Dieback). The woodland compartment W1 continues to contain dead or dying Ash and minor safety clearance is again recommended along the site boundary and access path. These works exempt as for dead wood and dead / dangerous stems only? Dead / dying stems would be from Ash dieback over 50% crown defoliation. (see above and attached report)
