Purpose

The Oak
(Quercus spp.) is located within a rear garden but is
clearly visible from the public realm, where it makes a positive
contribution to visual amenity and the character of the local
area.
 
A request
for a Tree Preservation Order has been made by a neighbouring
resident due to the landowner’s stated intention to fell the
tree in the near future, with quotations already obtained. This
indicates a credible and expedient threat to the tree.
 
The
removal of the tree would result in a measurable loss of public
amenity, adversely affecting the street scene and local landscape
character. On this basis (and a defensible TEMPO Score), the tree
is considered to meet the criteria for TPO protection.
 
 

Decision

Authorisation of the making of the Provisional Tree Preservation
Order TPO/2155/2026 at 44 Hollow Lane, Hayling Island, PO11
9EY.
 
Subject to
confirmation after 28 days consultation.
