Oak (T1) - In accordance with BS3998:2010, it is proposed to remove internal branches that are exerting mechanical pressure on the BT telecommunications cables, ensuring pruning cuts are made at appropriate junctions to preserve structural integrity and maintain a maximum clearance of one metre from the cables, while also undertaking the removal of dead, dying, or fractured branches exceeding 25mm diameter throughout the crown to mitigate risk and improve tree health, with all works to be carried out by a qualified arborist using clean, sharp tools to promote optimal healing and ecological sensitivity. Seating area located within the crown's dripline. Ash (G1) - Removal due to its declining condition and poor contribution to the garden?s visual amenity, which has otherwise been developed to a high standard. The tree is exhibiting clear signs of Ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus), and extensive decay is present within the lower stem, compromising its structural integrity and long-term viability. It is recommended that the tree be felled and replaced with a smaller, more suitable ornamental species, such as Sorbus, to enhance the landscape character and ensure sustainable planting within the garden setting.

T001 - 1x Common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) - Ash Dieback Health Class 4: 0% to 25% Poor - 1 Year - Pollard 3 limbs back to the main union with the finishing cuts being made at 9m from ground level. T001 is protected by a woodland tree preservation order: 1971.014 however, the recommendation for removal is considered good silvicultural practice due to the tree being diseased and in severe decline. It will encourage woodland regeneration making space for more resilient species, and biodiversity. The controlled removal of the tree will remove the risk of failure over the garden and fence area. There is argument to leave a standing monolith for ecological purpose, if this is the case it should not be left within falling distance of garden area to 24 Court Road. The removal of T001 will have a minimal impact on the overall woodland amenity value and will quickly be replaced with regeneration.

Rowcroft Avenue Road Torquay TQ2 5LS

1 x Holm Oak which is situated on the northern aspect of number 9 Pilmuir Avenue. Re-pollard to previous pollard points at approximately 6 metres above ground level. All arising material shall be removed from site and returned to our premises for recycling. Justification: 1. Cyclical Maintenance: As stated in BS3998 (Section 7.10)., once pollarding is initiated, it should be maintained by cutting new branches on a regular cycle. The frequency of re-pollarding depends on factors like species and site management. This tree's new growth is around 4 metres long therefore in line with the management objectives of the site we are proposing to re-pollard, to manage its size and maintain the intended structure at 6 metres above ground level. 2. Selective Cutting to Avoid Decay: BS3998 emphasises that during each cycle of pollarding, selective pruning is necessary to maintain some live branch material. To achieve this we will not be cutting back past knuckles but to just above to retain some functional material to establish new growth and prevent the spread of long term decay. Summary: The pollarding will reduce the trees overall height from 10 metres to 6 metres above ground level by removing the new growth of 4 metres to the previous pollard points. These sections provide a solid basis for re-pollarding the tree in line with recommendations set out within BS3998, ensuring the health and structural integrity of the Holm Oak in the short to long-term.

T1 Horse Chestnut: Reduce crown in height by 4m to leave a tree of 18m height Reduce crown from east by 2m to leave a tree of with crown spread 4 - 5m to east. Reduce crown from south by 1m to leave a tree of with crown spread 7m to south. Reduce crown from west by 3m to leave a tree of with crown spread 4m to west. Reason for works: The proposed reduction is to reduce loadings on branches and therefore reduce the risk of branch failure. It is also to attempt to rebalance the tree. See QTRA report for further details.

Mayfield Meadow Road Torquay TQ2 6PR

T1 is a mature Monterey Pine (pinus radiata) which is growing adjacent to the boundary between Thornhill Cottage and Mayfield. The tree trunk is within the garden of Thornhill Cottage but the crown overhangs both the gardens of Mayfield and Thornhill Cottage, as seen on the attached plan. Branch unions appear good and the parts of the main stem which could be inspected from Mayfield appear sound. However, one large large lower limb has suffered a compression failure in storm force winds, and there is a fracture across it and associated cavity which is ~25 cm deep. An aerial inspection confirmed the extent of the split. It is proposed to remove this branch (back to the main stem) to remove risk of branch failure in further high winds. In addition, there is evidence of decline and shoot dieback in parts of the crown, and the tree regularly sheds cones into Mayfield's garden during hot or windy conditions. It is proposed to remove crown deadwood, pruning each dead branch back to a healthy growing point, and to remove cones where these are attached poorly and at risk of falling onto people or property underneath causing injury or death. This tree has suffered previous cracks and splits in large branches and has had previous remedial works carried out. This sensitive intervention now continues work to ensure that this tree which is of significance in the conservation area landscape can continue to be enjoyed safely in the winter to come.

T1 - Sycamore south of the property - Pollard back to primary pollard points with final cuts made at approximately X4 metres from ground level. Initiate a well-balanced candelabra framework for future branch structure to establish. Tree is heavily leaning over railway lines on a steep bank with recent limb failures apparent in the tree. These works will massively reduce the wind sale effect especially when the tree is located in a very exposed location. T2 - Sycamore to the east of property - Crown reduce by 2-3m from the branch tips overall back to suitable pruning points while retaining the main framework & shape of the crown & therefore a high proportion of the foliage bearing structure. Tree is showing lower leaf density than expected at the time of year. Pruning the tree will reduce the wind sale effect on a very exposed location. Pruning cuts will not exceed 50mm in diameter. T2 existing height is 15m and post height after reducing is 12m.
