T001 - Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica): Undertake a light, sympathetic lateral crown reduction of approximately 1.0-1.5 metres on the dwelling-facing aspect only in order to reduce encroachment toward the adjacent property and maintain a suitable spatial relationship with the building. Works to retain the tree's natural form and balanced crown structure, with an estimated post-work crown spread of approximately 6.5-7.0 metres on the pruned aspect and approximately 8.0 metres elsewhere throughout the retained canopy. Concurrent removal of significant deadwood over identified target areas, including adjacent dwellings and gardens, is also proposed as part of routine tree management. The proposed works are considered minor and proportionate arboricultural management intended to implement early-stage crown maintenance through small diameter pruning cuts, thereby avoiding the need for more extensive pruning works in the future. All works are to be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010 by suitably qualified and insured arboricultural contractors.

T1 - Sweet Chestnut - Reduce the east (E) primary branch of the sweet chestnut that has sustained damage from the failed branch back to a suitable pruning point / point of origin in accordance with current arboricultural best practice. Remove damaged, torn, or fractured wood as necessary to leave a sound finished pruning wound. All material will be left on site. The FSC have also been made aware of these works. The proposed reduction of the damaged east primary branch is intended to lessen end-weight and reduce mechanical loading on the compromised structure, thereby mitigating the likelihood of further branch failure while retaining the branch for the long term where reasonably practicable. The extent of reduction has been specified to maintain sufficient live crown and preserve the existing branch framework and natural crown form in accordance with good arboricultural practice. Retention of the branch also allows the longitudinal split and associated wound features to develop as valuable habitat components, contributing to the tree?s ecological value and potential for habitat development over time. The works therefore seek to achieve an appropriate balance between risk management, tree retention, structural stability, and habitat conservation.

Hyperion Underhill Road Torquay TQ2 6SL

We want to remove the tree down to approximately 3m from ground level. After ongoing review its deemed necessary to dismantle and remove the tree due to its disease and no long term viability. T001 - Monterey Cypress - as in Hi-Lines report. 2021: The initial assessment noted a minor deterioration from the previous year, with the tree displaying sub-optimal vitality and crown density. This decline was accompanied by increasing levels of deadwood throughout the crown, with Old Mill Road identified as the primary high-occupancy target. 2023: Dysfunction within the crown had noticeably increased, with only approximately 50?60% of functional crown remaining. Infection by Seiridium cardinale was suspected. A large, upright, central primary limb, biased to the west, was confirmed dead and exhibited torsional splitting; this limb was somewhat sheltered by the remaining canopy. The increasing crown dysfunction was most visible over the driveway leading to Hyperion. 2025: The most recent inspection confirmed no significant change in the overall status or risk assessment of the tree. The dead primary limb was removed after the previous assessment as recommended. However, minor additional deterioration and the advancement of Seiridium cardinale symptoms were recorded, necessitating continued close monitoring. The long-term viability of this tree remains questionable and the requirement for its removal is highly likely.

Courtlands Rawlyn Road Torquay TQ2 6PL

The proposed works relate to the Eastern Boundary Group of 9 ? Regenerated Sycamore Stems (Acer pseudoplatanus), which have developed as multiple secondary stems from previously managed stools. The trees now form a dense boundary group and require cyclical management to maintain safe and sustainable growth within the confined location. Consent is sought to sectionally dismantle (where required), fell, and coppice the stems to approximately 1.50 metres above ground level, allowing the retained coppice stools to regenerate and produce new, vigorous replacement stems. This is considered an appropriate arboricultural management technique for this species and growth form, promoting healthier regrowth whilst retaining continued boundary screening and long-term tree cover. The proposed works are justified for the following reasons: To continue an ongoing cyclical management programme appropriate to previously regenerated sycamore stools. To reduce excessive height, weight, and leverage on elongated stems, thereby lowering the potential for future structural failure. To improve management of the boundary area and prevent further encroachment into the adjoining land. To stimulate vigorous new basal regrowth, improving the long-term condition and sustainability of the tree group. To retain the established root systems and ongoing amenity contribution of the group through regeneration, rather than complete removal. All works will be undertaken sensitively and in accordance with BS 3998:2010 ? Tree Work Recommendations, using appropriate dismantling and pruning techniques to minimise unnecessary damage and preserve the future vitality of the retained stools.

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.

83 Torridge Avenue Torquay TQ2 7NB

Oak (T1) - a crown reduction of up to 2 metres on the north-west aspect of the crown, in accordance with BS3998:2010, is planned. The tree has a single upward-growing stem that divides into two secondary stems supporting the crown. A stem has been historically damaged where the secondary stem attaches to the primary stem. Decay has developed downwards for an unknown length. This work will help offset increased wind exposure and the changes following the loss of a nearby tree's vitality and crown. The pruning will rebalance the crown, reduce wind resistance, and help maintain the tree?s stability and safe retention. Final Cuts Specification: All cuts should be back to suitable secondary growth points while maintaining a natural canopy shape. No branch should be shortened by more than a third of its length. Cut diameters should stay under 50 mm to avoid large wounds. VTA access is very limited; please contact the applicant if you wish to arrange access.
