8 Hesketh Mews Meadfoot Sea Road Torquay TQ1 2LT

1x Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) Reduce the overall canopy of the tree as follows: Reduce the height of the tree by approximately 2.0 m, leaving a final overall height of approximately 10.0 m. Reduce the radial crown spread by approximately 1.50 m, leaving a final radial spread of approximately 5.50 m at all compass points. All works shall retain the tree?s main framework and natural form, maintaining a high proportion of the foliage-bearing structure. All final pruning cuts shall be made at suitable growth points in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree Work ? Recommendations. Crown lift all round by removing secondary and sub-lateral branch growth only, to provide a vertical clearance of approximately 2.4 metres between ground level and the lowest foliage tips, thereby achieving the desired clearance above the pavement and wall boundaries. Individual pruning wounds shall not exceed 40 mm in diameter. Tree Preservation Order/ Conservation Area Justification The proposed works are intended to provide long-term, sustainable management of this mature Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) whilst preserving its amenity value and natural form. The specified crown reduction is moderate in scale and will reduce the overall height by approximately 2.0 metres and the radial spread by approximately 1.5 metres, maintaining a balanced crown structure and retaining a high proportion of the foliage-bearing canopy. The works will improve natural light levels to the adjacent properties and garden areas, helping to reduce excessive shading without materially affecting the tree's visual contribution to the locality. The proposed crown lift to approximately 2.4 metres above ground level will provide appropriate pedestrian clearance over the adjacent pavement and improve clearance above the wall boundaries, reducing the likelihood of conflict between the tree and its surrounding built environment. All pruning works will be undertaken in accordance with BS 3998:2010 ? Tree Work ?

Flat 1 St Ives Court Furzehill Road Torquay TQ1 3JG

T001- Pine Proposed Works: Reduce the western (left-hand) lateral crown by approximately 2.0-2.5 metres back to suitable secondary growth to reduce end weight and rebalance the crown whilst retaining the tree's natural form. Remove the single lower lateral limb overhanging the garden (approximately 200mm diameter at the point of removal). Remove any dead, damaged or broken branches encountered during the works. All pruning to be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010 - Tree Work - Recommendations. Reason for Works: To reduce the dominance and leverage of the extended lateral limb, improve crown balance and lessen the visual impact over the garden whilst retaining the tree as a significant landscape feature. The removal of the lower limb will improve clearance beneath the canopy and facilitate ongoing garden use and maintenance. The proposed works represent routine arboricultural management and are not intended to adversely affect the long-term health or amenity value of the tree.

T1 - Cypress: Fell to near ground level.

Warberry Lodge Higher Warberry Road Torquay TQ1 1SD

Lime (T1) - I am writing to give formal notice under the five day exemption for urgent works to T1 Lime at Warberry Lodge, Higher Warberry Road Torquay TQ1 1SD. The tree is a lapsed pollard that has recently suffered a catastrophic limb failure, resulting in the loss of approximately half of its crown. The failure has exposed extensive, structurally unsound wood at the historic pollard head and left the remaining crown severely imbalanced, with significant torsional loading on the remaining scaffold limbs. The remaining structure is now asymmetrical and unstable, subject to further unpredictable failure, compromised at the old pollard points, and located directly above a regularly occupied garden with pedestrian access beneath the crown. Given the scale of the failure and the compromised structural integrity of the remaining crown, the tree now presents an immediate and unacceptable risk. The situation meets the criteria for urgent works under the exemption. The tree is a lapsed pollard. Although decay is present within the historic pollard head, the management option is to reintroduce the pollard cycle. Re-pollarding will significantly reduce crown mass and place greater leverage on the weakened pollard head, lowering the risk of structural failure while retaining the tree within the landscape. However, it will also add extra stress from heavy reduction and heat waves, possibly causing the tree to weaken further.

Abbeywood House Cary Park Torquay TQ1 3NH

Beech T1, T2 and T3 - Lift branches over the road to a minimum height of 5.2?m (standard UK highway clearance for vehicle routes). Lift branches over the pavement to a minimum height of 2.1?m (standard pedestrian clearance). Remove or shorten only branches that obstruct safe passage or visibility, in accordance with the Highways Act 1980, s 154. Pruning to follow BS 3998: 2010 ? prune to suitable secondary growth points, avoid excessive thinning, and retain group structure. The Beech group is producing low lateral growth that obstructs the public highway, affecting safe pedestrian and vehicle movement. The landowner is required to prevent vegetation from endangering or obstructing highway users. The proposed works restore statutory clearance and are reasonable, proportionate, and consistent with BS 3998 and NTSG principles.

TPO Application Summary Meadfoot Lodge, Meadfoot Sea Road, Torquay Proposed Tree Works Summary This application seeks consent to undertake essential arboricultural works identified during a Quantified Tree Risk Assessment undertaken at Meadfoot Lodge, Meadfoot Sea Road, Torquay. The proposed works are necessary to mitigate foreseeable risks arising from structural defects, decay and branch failure potential whilst retaining the long-term amenity value of the trees wherever practicable. T001 Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) Current crown radius: 14m (approximate crown spread 28m). The tree exhibits Ganoderma-associated basal dysfunction and extended lateral growth. It is proposed to reduce the extended lateral limbs by approximately 2-3m, resulting in a post-pruning crown radius of approximately 11-12m (crown spread 22-24m), together with the removal of deadwood. These works will reduce end-weight loading and improve structural stability whilst retaining the tree's significant landscape contribution. T002 - Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa Current crown radius: 8m (approximate crown spread 16m). The tree contains a structurally weak co-dominant stem with included bark overhanging the adjacent highway. Consent is sought to remove the defective stem only. The retained stem will continue to provide screening and amenity value, with the overall crown spread reduced proportionately following removal of the defective leader. T003 - Please accept this as the revised specification: Selectively reduce the crown by 1-2 metres to leave a radial spread of approximately 8 metres, pruning to suitable growth points to retain a natural, balanced and symmetrical crown while maintaining the tree's natural character. T004 - The tree survey identifies an included union within the main stem of the tree. This is the defect referred to in the survey, and the recommended works relate to managing the associated risk.

10 Gainsborough Close Torquay TQ1 2SB

Because of the extreme height of the tree and being situated on a bank at the rear of my garden I am requesting 50% trimming of height after visit from a tree surgeon. It is an Oak tree with 3 large branches off the trunk. The area on the bank has very strong winds and very concerned as it has grown a lot since the 5 years I have been here and seems much higher than neighbouring trees. If it fell would land on my conservatory and probably roof of the house. I am happy for you to come and view it. reduction of 3 branches from main crown to 50% above ground level, to provide sufficient clearance to property.
