Little Egret Thurlestone TQ7 3NX
T078, T079, T080 - Ash/Fraxinus Excelsior - Proposed works are for removal of dead branches only (deadwooding) to all three trees; no felling is proposed at this stage. Reasons for the work: the trees show significant dead branching. It is proposed that the dead wood is removed and the trees are monitored for a period of 1-2 years to assess whether they recover. Felling will only be reconsidered if the trees fail to recover in that time.

2036/26/TPO Granted
Beech Cottage 1 The Glade Crapstone PL20 7PR
TPO S323; Tree 1: Copper Beech - Sensitive whole crown reduction to 14/15m above ground level to live growth points. Crown lift to 4/5m above ground level to live growth points. This will leave the crown balanced and compact, subsequently reducing interference to neighbouring properties, shared service road, overhead cables and provide sufficient clearance to residential dwelling. Tree 2 & Tree 3: European Beech:- Remove Trees to Ground Level. Lopsided growth causing lean towards neighbouring property. Both trees are inhibiting balanced growth to Tree 1 (Copper Beech) and both trees extend over service road and neighbouring property. There is no plan for replanting replacement trees due to the inappropriate location of existing trees.

21 Waterhead Close Kingswear TQ6 0BN
T1: Sycamore - Fell to ground level. T1 is a maturing Sycamore with codominant stems and tight, included unions. These structural characteristics increase the potential for stem or union failure, particularly given the tree’s exposed position and susceptibility to high wind loading. Due to the location of the tree above neighbouring properties, complete removal is therefore recommended as a proportionate management response to reduce the identified risk to the properties and residents below.
