26/01170/TW - Tree Works to TPO Registered

Proposal

T1 & T2; Swedish whitebeam - Reduce by 1m around the complete exterior of the two trees. Trim minor foliage at the bottom of the trees (as in photo). Reduce crown by about 1m and in places 1.5m where branches have grown more than others. Reason: Maintain size and shape to fit the location. Currently, as evidenced by the photos provided, they are encroaching on the neighbouring property and also parking spaces and the driveway to other parking spaces. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 4

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.
Special area of conservation 92 m away: Solent and Dorset Coast
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Also on the record
