Planning applications in Torbay, September 2021

23 Stoneleigh Drive Torquay TQ2 6TR

We have been advised to notify you of our intention to reduce the height and width of 1 x Chestnut tree within the Conservation area owned and managed by Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust as per a map I wish to send you. The advice received is to not remove more than one quarter of the trees canopy so that it has enough energy to survive which would suit our needs. The tree currently stands approximately 60 feet tall and would benefit from this reduction. The tree is abutted by Ash trees which I believe may be removed or reduced in the near future. Teign Trees would be commissioned to complete the works and I have contacted Chris Lingard, Countryside Manager, at Torbay Coast & Countryside who has said we would have his permission upon approval of this application to yourselves. He has advised that the Tree is not under a TPO. Teign Trees are a qualified, trained, competent and appropriately Insured Arborist who we have consulted on other recent works and whom we trust.
