Summary
The application covers three trees under Tree Preservation Order TPO.TVBC.682. All three — a Pine (T2) and two Cypress trees (T3 and T4) — are confirmed dead. The council has approved their removal. The property is on Hook Road in Ampfield, a rural village with around 68 homes within a few minutes' walk. Trodds Copse SSSI, a nationally protected nature site, lies nearby. Dead trees can still provide some habitat for insects and wildlife, but councils routinely approve felling where trees are confirmed dead and no longer have amenity value.
