4 Martins Close Compton Street Compton Winchester Hampshire SO21 2FF
Proposal
T1 Field Maple ( Acer campestre) This tree is growing at an acute angle of a soft bank over a road due to being suppressed by dominant lime behind. As this trees canopy growth it will be adding to the weight and leverage at the base. This tree is likely to heave or fail at the base in the future. As it is a low amenity value i would recommend to felling. T2 Beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) This tree is also be suppressed by the lime with very little leaf in the gangly upper canopy. This tree is also at risk of failing due to leverage and the soft bank. It also is a low amenity value ill recommend felling this tree too.

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.

The works will lessen mechanical loading on extnded limbs, improve the tree's long-term structural integrity, and reduce the liklihood of branch failure during adverse weather conditions. The propsoed reduction will retain the tree's natural form and amenity value whilst establishing an appropriate management cycle for this mature specimen. T7 - Sycamore to take back to source the first 4no branches at 35mm stem diameter Arboricultural Justification: To remove four small lower branches by pruning bak to source.

Currawong George Eyston Drive Winchester Hampshire SO22 4PE
T1-T5 Beech - All 5 trees have extensive squirrel damage in upper limbs and branches. These are now posing a safety hazard to the owners & neighbours. Suggestion is to shorten damaged limbs and branches as appropriate to their lengths and amount of damage to reduce the risk of failure. Estimated reduction is maximum 3m but less if safe to do so & leaving decent growth points. 1 limb recently broke & fell into owners garden & the climbing inspection was undertaken & the damage was highlighted.
