T/26/101917 - TPO Application Valid - Awaiting Decision

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.

Site constraints 5

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Solent: Includes Chichester and Langstone Harbours SPA/Ramsar, Solent and Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar, Solent Maritime SAC, Portsmouth Harbour SPA/Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
