⌂1 Nuns Road Winchester Hampshire SO23 7EFTrees 1 & 2: Horse chestnuts. The two mature horse chestnuts, approximately 24m in height, contain included unions arising from historic pollard points at approximately 15m. Such unions represent recognised structural weaknesses, with Smiley (2003) demonstrating significantly reduced attachment strength where included bark is present. Subsequent biomechanical research by Kane et al. (2008) and Slater (2010?present) further supports the management of structurally compromised unions through appropriate load reduction. A crown reduction of approximately 4?5m is therefore proposed to reduce sail area and bending moments acting upon these unions, materially reducing the likelihood of structural failure whilst retaining both trees, their principal framework and their substantial amenity value. The presence of both trees growing together means that the treatment which is more applicable for tree 1, must equally be applied to tree 2 in order to prevent changes in oscillation through the respective canopies and future upper canopy limb failure.Awaiting decision›⌂10 Walnut Grove Winchester Hampshire SO22 5HRComplete removal of the Horse chestnut tree as close to ground level as possible. This work should be completed as a priority given the presence of targets within felling distance. During felling it may require Links Road closure for a period of time since 1/3 of the tree overhangs the road.Awaiting decision›⌂Langton Blue Ball Hill Winchester Hampshire SO23 0AFT1 Field Maple - Reduce longer branches by up to 1.5m & cutback over hang from neighbours garden to limit shading & overhang by approx. 2m G1 Eucalyptus - Reduce height to reduce risk of failure or wind throw 3-4m to good growth points T2 Field Maple - Reduce crown 1m to maintain size & clear away from building brickworkAwaiting decision›⌂20 Nuns Road Winchester Hampshire SO23 7EFThe tree is a small domestic apple tree in the rear garden and is no longer required. It has limited amenity value due to it's position within the private rear garden and is not visible from the public highway. Removal is proposed to allow the garden to be redesigned and make better use of available space.Awaiting decision›
