T1 - Cypress: Fell to near ground level.

1 Fitzroy Road Plymouth PL1 5PY

T1 - Holly: Re-pollard T2 - Rowan: Reduce height by 1.5m. Reduce southern aspect by 1.5m. Reduce remaining canopy by approx. 1m. T3 - Bay: Reduce height by 2m.

19 Stoneleigh Drive Torquay TQ2 6TR

T1 - Oak: Fell to near ground level. Reasoning: The oak has previously been heavily topped, resulting in a reduced canopy consisting of mainly epicormic growth. The tree is in decline, with an estimated 30?40% of live cambium remaining. The main stem shows signs of significant decay, which compromises its structural integrity. Due to the combination of stem decay and weak regrowth, there is an increased risk of failure. Further reduction is not considered appropriate, as it would not address the existing structural issues and would likely lead to further decline.

T1 - Sycamore: Re-pollard.

Georgian Court Babbacombe Road Torquay TQ1 3TF

T1 - Ash: Pollard at approximately 5m above ground level. Reason for works: The tree is showing symptoms consistent with Ash Dieback. The condition is expected to progressively decline as a result of the disease, with recovery considered unlikely. Suggested pollard at approx. 5m with a 5-year re-pollarding management cycle.

T1 & T2 - Ash: Fell to near ground level. The trees are showing symptoms consistent with Ash Dieback, including reduced leaf coverage during the summer months and the presence of deadwood within the crown. The condition is expected to progressively decline as a result of the disease, with recovery considered unlikely. T3 - Mimosa: Fell to near ground level. The tree is exhibiting heavy dieback throughout the crown and poor leaf coverage, indicating significant decline and limited potential for recovery. It is proposed that the removals be mitigated by replacement planting with appropriate tree species, either on site or within the immediate vicinity, to maintain long-term tree cover and visual amenity. Details of species, size, and planting location can be agreed with the Local Planning Authority. Note: T1 and T2 is under shared ownership of the applicant and their neighbours, Georgian Court, and located on the Georgian Court side of the boundary. T3 is located in the garden of 339 Babbacombe Road.

EXEMPTION NOTICE T1 Horse Chestnut: Fell to near ground level. I am writing to inform you that we intend to remove the tree in question on 6th of January 2026. The horse chestnut has suffered two recent major limb failures within the last few months, which caused damage to property. Inspection of the failed limbs shows extensive internal decay, with the wood at the point of failure being completely rotten. The tree exhibits fungal brackets indicative of significant internal decay. Given the history of failure, the presence of advanced decay, and the proximity of property, the tree presents a foreseeable risk of serious harm. Further limb failure is considered likely and cannot be reliably mitigated through pruning. The local Tree Officer has been consulted and has confirmed that removal is acceptable under the dangerous tree exemption. Replacement tree: The tree is located within a confined raised bed enclosed by a stone wall. Following removal, the stump and associated root plate will occupy the majority of the available space. Stump removal would require significant excavation and disturbance to the surrounding structure and hard landscaping, resulting in disproportionate cost and disruption. For these reasons, on-site replacement planting is not considered practical. The applicant intends to plant shrubs and ornamental plants suitable for the available soil volume around the stump.
