The exact number and make-up of the replacement trees is being determined by the council’s tree specialist.
An abatement notice has also been served to prohibit any burning of material that could cause smoke.
This comes after a stop notice was issued for the land meaning that no development work can take place there for 28 days whilst legal teams work on additional action.
Leader of Eastleigh Borough Council, Cllr Keith House said: “This destruction of trees is a criminal act and I hope the council is able to mount a successful prosecution to bring this perpetrator to account.
