Purpose

The tree
is a mature Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur) that appears to be exhibiting normal vigour
and vitality for the species – a detailed VTA was not
possible due to access restrictions and as such the tree’s
full condition has not been assessed.
 
The Oak is
located within the rear garden of a residential dwelling and
provides an unobstructed view from the highway – offering a
high level of public amenity value to the street scene.
 
There is
development on site and there has already been a degree of site
clearance – potential for tree loss or damage is
foreseeable.
 
TEMPO was
used as part of the assessment and the score is 17 which definitely
merits a TPO.
 
 

Decision

Authorisation of the confirmation of Tree Preservation Order
(TPO) 2144 at 70 Westbourne Avenue, Emsworth, PO10 7QU.
