Exton Cottage Allens Farm Lane Exton Hampshire SO32 3NW
T1: Beech- Fell to ground level due to dieback in canopy, and signs of Kretzschmaria deusta, which was also found on a tree in close proximity that was removed approximately 1yr ago. The tree has also lost 2 limbs onto the road in the last few months, hence the concern for the high value targets below. T2: Horse Chestnut: Fell to ground level due to close proximity to gateway and wall. The tree is overshadowed by other larger trees in good health, and has caused multiple issues with the both the gateway and also the foundations of the wall which have been repaired on multiple occasions. T3: Sycamore: Standing dead tree; fell to ground level. T4: Horse Chestnut: Permission to reduce by 6m in height, and 3m on the aspect of the canopy extending over the highway. There are multiple over extended limbs overhanging the highway. This would reduce the likelihood of any limb failures onto the road. T5: Beech tree: Fell to ground level. The tree has been in heavy decline over the last 6 years, and carefully monitored, with deadwood removal being carried out each year for the last 3 years. The canopy has continued to die back and shows no signs of improvement. It has also lost multiple large limbs over the last 2 years, and once again, the tree heavily overhangs the highway. T6: Sycamore: Permission to reduce 2x lowest over extended limbs to minimise chances of failure onto the road by reducing end weight.T7: Maple- Fell to ground level. The tree was initially planted by the owners as a small border tree, but has since exceeded its intended size by some margin, and now overshadows a number of plants and shrubs within the border, offering little in the way of amenity value to the immediate area, with better specimens to be enjoyed behind it.
