  • 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.

    1 Maple Close Tavistock PL19 9LL

    TPO S46: Cherry tree - Crown lift on the tree, removing lower branches growing laterally over the pavement up to a height of 4.5m . Some of which are within 2.4m above the pavement. This will restore balance to the lower part of the tree. Removal of dead wood throughout the tree, most of which is lower. The final cuts are shown on the photos with a yellow line. The final cut diameters will be less the 150mm. Reasons for the work are to restore balance to the lower part of the tree as there is a much fuller growth on the southern to western sides & to alleviate obscuring the streetlamp
