Planning application

Highwood Grange Newton Abbot Devon TQ12 1QS

Granted Teignbridge 26/00169/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Yew T1 - Trim the lower section so the base resembles a hedge while keeping the top shaped like a tree. Pine T2 - Reduce the crown by 3 metres to avoid targeting the car park, with heavy leaning at nearly 45 degrees impacting T1. Pine T3 - Remove the first two sets of branches from the main branch aimed toward the car park. Cypress T358 - Fell due to weak unions between stems and visible movement between the two stems.
