  T531: Oak - Reduce whole crown length by 3m to 4m, remove 8-12 small dead branches back to trunk, reduce the length of 3 x branches by 4 metres that are now hanging close to the ground on the SW quadrant. Each branch is growing downwards from a larger, main branch that is growing from the trunk, it is the downward portions that are proposed to cut, not the main horizontal branches Some branches are dead and will fall if not removed safely, the tree grows significantly each season & some branches will soon make contact with our house. As the tree grows, the risk of property damage & hazards to people (particularly in storms) will increase. Small sticks & branches regularly fall, more so when windy - we have children at the property and these falling objects are a hazard. The tree has grown on top of a raised stone/dirt bank rather than on flat ground and we are concerned that as the tree becomes ever larger, there is a risk of the tree becoming more and more unstable. The bank is approx 2 metres wide and approx 1.5 to 2 metres above solid ground on both elevations. This doesn't give the normal amount of support around the base of the trunk that a tree in flat ground would get, Branches overhang neighbouring property by approx 8 to 9 metres and present a hazard in high winds as well as making a large part of their garden unusable due to the shade and also dramatically reduced rainfall.

  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.

  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
