T1 Golden Cypress - dismantle to ground level

43 Springfield Road Torquay TQ1 3PZ

Two storey rear extension, alterations to existing extension roof

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.

T1 Pittosporum and T2 Palm - Fell because located in a confined environment in very close proximity to a boundary wall and house.

Bay Ridge Parkhill Road Torquay TQ1 2DT

Tree T1 is a Holm Oak (Quercus Ilex) growing at the entrance of the adjacent property to the east, Monteverdi. It has 3 stems from base, is 22m tall, with stem diameters of approximately 40. 60. 50 cm. It overhangs the entrance drive and parking area of 'Bay Ridge', causing nuisance by dropping leaves and allowing perching birds to defecate onto the car below. It is proposed to clrown-lift and reduce back the western branches over the said drive, as shown on the attached photograph. this would be a reduction by some 6m of the side growth of the tree. T2 is another Holm Oak, growing in the garden of the adjacent property to the west, Parkhill House. it is proposed to remove 2 3rd-order limbs on its southern side, as illustrated in the attached photograph, to allow lightinto the applicant's garden T3 is a Yew (Taxus baccata), also growing in the garden of Beacon Heights; it is proposed to reduce and rebalance the tree for the sam reason as given fro tree T2 above. the owners of both properties have been approached and are happy to have the above works carried out. please see attached plan for locations of the trees.

Pine (T1) - fell because dead tree targeting pavement, replanting with the same species. Douglas fir (T2) - fell because of its asymmetrical crown interfering with a neighbouring mature oak, which will benefit from the lack of competition. The upper crown of the fir tree damages the arrangement of the first-order branches from the oak tree's trunk. Do not remove the tree stump, as this will damage the structural roots that support the infrastructure of the root plate, which provides strength and stability to the oak tree. The fir tree is not visible to the broader public. Replant with Rowan in a different part of the garden. Eucalypt (T3) - fell because targeting house located in the northeast and the seating area within the garden that was developed to a high standard. The tree suffered significant branch loss in the past within the lower, mid and upper westerly aspect of the crown. The asymmetrical shape of the crown poses a high risk of the tree falling and is not tolerated by the homeowner. The Eucalypt is not visible to the wider public. Replant with Cypress Oak fastigiate. Eucalypt (T4) - 3 metres reduction on the long phototrophic first order branch within the western aspect of the crown because targeting public right of way path and car park of Teneriffe property. Cheery (T5) - fell because of its asymmetrical crown and poor amenity appearance interfering with a neighbouring mature Thuja, which will benefit from the lack of competition. The upper crown of the Cherry tree damages the arrangement of the first-order branches from the trunk of the conifer tree. The fir tree is not visible to the broader public. Replant the same species in different parts of the garden.

Meadville Meadfoot Sea Road Torquay TQ1 2LQ

Ash (T1) - Fell due to extensive symptoms of Chalara Dieback of Ash within the whole aspect of the tree crown. Tree targeting residential car parks, public road and pavement, there is no restriction on parking in this part of the road. Replant with smaller street tree species such as Mountain Ash. Pine (T2) and (T3) - 1.5 metres reduction on the southern aspect of the crowns only, as both trees have lost a significant part of their crown in the past and it's required to maintain their health and safety. The asymmetrical shape of the crown is due to shading from neighbouring trees to the north. This poses a high risk of falling branches, which is not tolerated by the homeowner, as it could damage their house.

T1 Norway Spruce - dismantle to ground level

Abbey School Fore Street Torquay TQ1 4PR

- Sycamore more removal to ground level - Chip all debris and remove from site Reasons for work: Tree 1: Located in the playground, Tree 1 has self -seeded extremely close to the school building and there is potential for the structure of the foundations to be negatively impacted. The branches have reached the telephone wires, which may lead to them being compromised, should the tree be allowed to continue to grow. Tree 2: Adjacent to the school building between the school boundary wall and Hampton Court carpark, Tree 2 has great potential to cause structural damage to the wall and to the school building. In 2022, removal of a tree also located adjacent to the boundary wall was felled in agreement with SWISCO as it was damaging the wall, posing a risk to the public. I believe it is prudent to fell this tree in order to avoid this occurring in the future.

There are plans to plant new trees where appropriate spaces become available. At the moment some of the planting in the park is very densely spaced and some trees are becoming very drawn up and spindly rather than reaching their full potential, quite a number (sycamore, ash and holm oak) are self seeded and are therefore not necessarily in the best positions and may even cause future damage to the boundary walls. It would not therefore be appropriate to plant more trees in these circumstances but better to plant where there are gaps in the canopy.
