T/26/101880 - TPO Approved

Proposal

1 No. Oak (T1) - Reduce crown height by about 2–3m, north aspect by about 1–2m, and east, south, west aspects by about 2–3m. Dimensions after pruning will be about 14m in height, and crown spreads of about 5–6m in each direction. Works are in the interest of reasonable tree management given its proximity to nearby structures. Works will not cause significant harm to the tree, and as the profile will remain mostly unchanged from public viewpoints, it will have no detrimental impact on its contribution to local character.

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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Bursledon built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
