15 Church Street Kingsteignton Devon TQ12 3BQ

T1. Walnut tree - height approx 10 meters. Remove 2 lower limbs, reduce and reshape the rest of the tree by 2-3 meters back to growth points. In addition to this remove any defective branches/limbs. T2. Weeping Willow - height approx 14 meters. Remove the limb/limbs back to the union so that it can reshoot and fill the gap in. Removing the bracing from the tree. Reducing the rest of the tree to get the shape and balance back. This will only be very minimal with approximately 1-1.5 meters on the top.

24 North Avenue Exeter EX1 2DU

T1 Copper Beech. Height is approximately 10m. Reduce the tree by approx 2-3 meters back to where it was previously done back to growth points to retain the tree?s size and shape to work with the surrounding gardens and houses. All work carried out to British standard BS3998.

1 Oxlea Close Torquay TQ1 2HB

The tree in question is a Field Maple, approximately 17 meters high with the base of the trunk approximately 3ft across. The tree is situated in an area tpo (tpo ref 1972.010 (A4 and A3)) at address; 1 Oxlea Close, Torbay, TQ1 2HB. Applying for removing the tree in question. The tree is on a bank, leaning and is hollow with one side open at the base which continues up to approximately 7 meters high with visible decay, cracks going straight through the remaining trunk and visible signs of large areas of bark exclusion in the upper crown as shown in the pictures attached. The base of the tree has only approximately 35% remaining. As previously mentioned, the tree is leaning and has a limb resting on the neighbouring Field maple which I suspect is supporting the tree in question. There is no access for a tracked mewp or a crane to this site which means this tree will need to be climbed and the tree dismantled. There is a footpath directly behind the tree and many smaller shrubs and trees below and in the area. If the tree was to fail it would cause a lot of damage to the understory, shrubs and trees and would be likely to fall or roll onto the footpath. I wanted to get this job done asap to keep the safety aspect of this job high knowing that the extra weight of the sap rising and the leaves would add to the shock on the base while rigging. There are no trees near to rope in an extra line for safety. Seemingly this aspect of a 5 day notice wasn't considered and is not part of the criteria looked at. I would normally consider a monolith but as there are no trees to rope into in the area and with a large limb from this tree which is being supported into the neighbouring tree, on safety grounds the application is to reduce this tree down to 1 meter making it possible to do the final part by felling if space allows.

6A Thornton Hill Exeter Devon EX4 4NS

T1 Sycamore tree, height approx 15m - remove.

1 Clifton Grove Cottages Old Torwood Road Torquay TQ1 1PS

2 Sycamore trees, approx height of 17m. Applying for permission to remove both trees. The access down the the track is no longer passable for vehicles because the base of the trees have grown out and are also pushing against the wall behind them to the neighbouring property. There are steep steps that lead down behind the wall that lead down to the bottom floor. There are also several branches rubbing against the building and the base will without doubt start causing issues down the line. Pictures attached.

25 Studley Road Torquay TQ1 3JN

T1 Aspen TPO ref 2002.21. Approx height of 20m. This tree is situated on the grounds of The Pines, St Marychurch road but grows over 2-3 properties on Studley road. Applying for permission to reduce the tree by 3-4 meters back to growth points to lighten the weight on the lateral limbs and remove the sail. The tree is situated about 2-3 meters from a old retaining wall in the garden of 23 Studley road with a drop of 8ft. The tree has been worked on several times in the past.

145 Pennsylvania Road Exeter Devon EX4 6DZ

T1 Quercus Cerris, Mature, approx height 26m. Attached In photos is a letter from Devon county council saying there are cracks at branch forks over the road, additionally to that the vast amount of weight of the tree is growing out over the road. Pictures attached. Applying for permission to reduce the lower branches over the road by approx 4m to reduce the weight of the limbs and a light reduction of approx 2 meters to the rest of the tree. It looks like its been reduced in areas in the past. All work would be back to growth points. T2 Ash tree. Height of approx 10m. Suffering from Ash die back and has been making the Oak tree grow off on an angle. There are several phone wires running through the tree. Applying for removal.

Flat 1 Hillsborough Hillesdon Road Torquay TQ1 1QF

T1:Oak tree semi mature. Approximate height of 10 meters. This tree has been reduced several times in the past to retain the height so that it doesn't block the light and view from the flats in the building. Requesting permission to reduce the tree by 1-2 meters back to where it has previously been done. T2; Multi stemmed Holm Oak, Mature, approx height of 20 meters. Part owned by 2 properties. This tree is multi stemmed with a large crown that grows over a garage, decking area and paths/steps. There's been a branch that's broken off over the winter that landed on the roof of the garden and caused damage and there is a massive issue with bird feces all over the paths, steps and handrails that leads up to the parking area and garages which is causing a hygiene problem as the residences rely heavily on these walkways and the handrails for support along with it being slippery under foot. The tree itself is has 12 stems some of which are very top heavy, after monitoring them in the wind there is a large degree of movement which will have to be managed. We are applying to reduce the height of the tree by 40-50% back to growth points where possible and remove the left hand limb so it doesn't overhang the pathways. This will retain the tree for the future as well as reducing the risk of anything happening to the tree and almost certainly remove the issue of bird feces.

13 Greenway Road Brixham TQ5 0LR

T1. Copper Beech tree (Fagus Sylvatica f. Purpurea) Mature, approximate height of 20 meters. Applying for permission to crown lift the lower branches one of which is a medium branches which wouldn't change the shape of the tree and a reduction of the crown by 2-3 meters. The reasons behind this application are: To give more light to surrounding shrubs and small trees. Reduce the extended branches lessoning the weight. Retain the tree at a size that's in keeping with its surroundings with now being a good time for a reduction due to a good amount of reduction points on small branches. Give more light to the neighbouring house which is overshadowed by both the Beech tree and the Lime tree. There is a new house being built near the tree at the bottom of the garden with a Sedum roof which would benefit from having more light but also less leaves falling onto the roof in the autumn.
