Proposal

Remove Eucalyptus tree in rear garden, the tree is an old lapsed pollard, (12 inches DBH) and is dropping heavy limbs, to re pollard would not leave sufficient growth for the tree to survive as it has been left for too long, with all the growth at the very ends of the pollarded branches. Tree location is in rear garden, 20 metres directly behind the house. Remove Lawson Cypress growing directly against south wall, as continued growth will push the wall over. (8 inches DBH). Approx 10 metres from house. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 8

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.
