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.

T1 1 Veteran Oak (Quercus robur) The proposed works relate to the careful management of a mature Veteran Oak in order to maintain the tree in a safe condition while retaining its long-term amenity and ecological value. A programme of selective deadwood removal is proposed throughout the canopy to remove dead branch material up to approximately 100 mm in diameter, where reasonably practicable. The removal of smaller deadwood will help to reduce the risk of falling debris within the immediate vicinity of the tree, particularly in relation to nearby residential garden areas and potential target zones. In recognition of the tree?s veteran status, larger diameter deadwood will be retained where appropriate to preserve important habitat features and ecological value associated with veteran trees. In addition, it is proposed to reduce one primary limb extending over the garden area of 51 Drake Avenue (SE Aspect) by selectively pruning secondary and sub-lateral branch growth only, removing approximately 2.0 metres from the branch tips. This limited end-weight reduction will help to reduce encroachment over the neighbouring property and lessen the mechanical loading at the extremities of the limb, while fully retaining the primary structural framework of the branch and the overall form of the tree. The proposed works represent minor, sympathetic arboricultural management intended to maintain the tree in a safe and sustainable condition without materially altering its appearance or amenity contribution. Particular care will be taken to ensure that the tree?s veteran characteristics, habitat value, and natural crown structure are preserved. All pruning will be undertaken to suitable growth points using appropriate arboricultural techniques and carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree Work: Recommendations. The proposed works are therefore considered proportionate, necessary, and in the interests of good arboricultural practice, helping to ensure the ongoing safe

Courtlands Rawlyn Road Torquay TQ2 6PL

T1 - 1x Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa)- Prune 1x primary branch overhanging Rawlyn Road on the southern aspect of the tree, cutting back to the main stem. Individual pruning wound shall not exceed 100 mm in diameter. Remove all dead and broken branches, including stubs from previous pruning operations, where such material exceeds 10 mm in diameter. Sever ivy at the base of the main stem to facilitate further inspection of the trees condition. Ivy shall be cut cleanly at the base of the trunk and carefully detached where practicable, avoiding unnecessary damage to the bark. The Monterey Cypress is situated adjacent to Rawlyn Road, with a primary limb extending over the public highway on the southern aspect of the canopy. The proposed works are limited and proportionate, intended to address highway clearance and remove defective material while retaining the overall form, health, and amenity value of the tree. It is proposed to prune one primary branch overhanging Rawlyn Road, cutting back to the main stem. The works will improve clearance over the highway and reduce the potential for branch failure over a publicly accessible area. Pruning will be undertaken in line with BS 3998:2010 ? Tree Work Recommendations, ensuring that individual pruning wounds do not exceed 100 mm in diameter and that appropriate arboricultural techniques are employed to promote good wound occlusion and long- term tree health. In addition, all dead, and broken branches will be removed from throughout the canopy, including redundant stubs remaining from previous pruning operations where such material exceeds 10 mm in diameter. The removal of deadwood will reduce the likelihood of falling debris and improve the safety of the tree in relation to nearby targets.
