T2 - The proposal is to crown reduce the cypress by 1.5m in height and 1.5m lateral width.

Lincombe Hall Hotel Lower Woodfield Road Torquay TQ1 2JX

T2: Sycamore: Fell to ground level. A Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) located just outside my boundary on the neighbour's land is proposed for removal with the neighbour's agreement. Although the tree is not on my property, it is causing significant and ongoing issues that directly affect my home, including: Substantial loss of natural light Heavy seasonal leaf fall leading to repeated maintenance and blocked gutters General nuisance and encroachment due to its size and position The neighbour has acknowledged these impacts and agrees that the tree is unsuitable for its current location. Its removal is therefore a practical management decision to resolve persistent issues affecting my property, rather than a proposal made for reasons of altering the wider landscape or greenbelt character. Replacement planting can be provided where required, using appropriate species that will maintain local amenity without causing future conflicts.

43 St Georges Road Torquay TQ1 3QY

Horse chestnut (T1) Proposed works: Crown lift of low branches to achieve a clearance of approximately 4m above ground level with cuts no larger than 50mm. Works are required to alleviate obstruction and encroachment onto the adjacent highway, driveway, garden, and property areas directly beneath the crown. Specification: All operations to be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010 (Tree Work ? Recommendations). Removal is limited to lower-order branches that impede access and damage the arrangement of first-order branches beneath the crown dripline. Works will maintain tree health and form, focusing on clearance rather than reduction. Supporting context: A similar consent was granted in 2015 due to the tree?s asymmetrical crown interfering with neighbouring vegetation. Current encroachment affects a well-established Japanese maple (SW) and Laurus hedge (E), both of which will benefit from reduced competition for light and space. Intervention will prevent further damage to the lower crown and improve coexistence with adjacent plantings. Reason for works: To ensure safe clearance above the highway and driveway, reduce interference with neighbouring vegetation, and maintain the long-term health and structural integrity of the tree.

7 Torwood Close Torquay TQ1 1EH

T1: Spruce: Fell to ground level. The tree stands within approximately 3 metres of my property, growing from a raised rockery structure which does not provide a suitable long-term rooting environment for a tree of its current size and expected future growth. The spruce has now outgrown its constrained location, and its proximity to the property presents an increasing risk of structural pressure on the rockery and adjacent hard surfaces. A similar spruce in an adjoining garden failed during storm conditions last year, demonstrating that mature specimens of this species in this immediate area may be vulnerable due to restricted rooting depths and local exposure. Replacement planting can be provided where required, using appropriate species that will maintain local amenity without causing future conflicts. The removal of these trees is therefore based on safety considerations, site constraints, and practical arboricultural management, rather than any desire to alter the character of the wider greenbelt area. Replacement planting can be provided if required by the Local Planning Authority, and species can be selected to ensure long-term suitability and to maintain local amenity value.

Oak (T1) - Reduce the outer crown to the NW and SW by up to 1.5 m, ensuring final cuts do not exceed 50 mm diameter. The resulting crown spread will be approximately 6-7 m from stem to crown edge in each direction, in accordance with BS 3998:2010. The tree is situated near No. 18, adjacent to a bus stop and car park within a landscaped garden. Works are proposed to mitigate nuisance from bird droppings on the patio, which pose a potential health risk, while retaining the tree's amenity and structural integrity. The proposed works are necessary to mitigate nuisance and health risks arising from bird droppings on the patio, which can act as breeding grounds for parasites transmissible to humans. The tree's proximity to a bus stop and landscaped car park increases public exposure, making crown management essential for safeguarding amenity and public health. Selective reduction of the NW and SW crown will lessen overhang and shading, while retaining the tree's overall form and structural integrity in accordance with BS 3998:2010. The works will ensure that the crown maintains adequate clearance above the adjacent car park, consistent with the minimum highway clearance standard of 5.03 m. This is particularly important given the restricted manoeuvrability for larger vehicles near the bus stop, where safe passage must be maintained for public transport, service, and emergency vehicles.

T001 - 1x Holly Tree Crown lift on the roadside by removing three branches overhanging the carriageway, pruning back to the main stem to achieve highway regulation clearance of 5.60 metres from road level. Reduce the remaining canopy of the tree as follows: Reduce the height of the tree by approximately 2 m, leaving a final overall height of approximately 7 m. Reduce the radial crown spread by approximately 1.5 m, leaving a final radial spread of 5.5 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. Individual pruning wounds shall not exceed 40 mm in diameter. Justification: The proposed works are intended to provide adequate statutory highway clearance in accordance with Section 154 of the Highways Act 1980 and to prevent low lateral branches from obstructing the carriageway. The crown reduction is required to contain the overall size and spread of the tree within its constrained roadside setting, mitigating the risk of branch failure and limiting future encroachment into the garden area. The works are of a sympathetic and proportional nature, designed to maintain the long-term health, form, and amenity value of the tree while ensuring compliance with highway safety regulations. The proposed pruning is consistent with good arboricultural practice and will not adversely affect the tree's physiological condition or visual contribution to the local landscape or conservation area.
