1 Large Oak tree . Total removal of tree and replace with shrub 2 dying sycamore . total removal and replacement with shrub 3 Large sycamore - total removal and replacement with shrub All trees stand on a small area of bank 3-4 m above ground level. The trees severely overshadow the house ( Sketch C) . Leaves, falling branches and sap cause damage to vehicles parked at the property and the trees are located only 6 metres distance from the front of the property itself. The large sycamore ( tree 3) is also damaging the boundary wall. All trees are overhanging Museum Road and car park entrance. Sketch C is taken from a photo and demonstrates the height of the trees compared to the top of the property roof. Options other than total removal would still leave the property in a vulnerable position and at risk with stormy weather and bank erosion. The proposal would replace the large trees with shrubs which could be maintained at lower height, provide some privacy and also provide support to the environment

Fell Pine Tree

Torbay Hospital Newton Road Torquay TQ2 7AA

ATI001 - Populus serotina (Hybrid Black Poplar) - Fell to ground level. This tree has been highlighted in a recent survey in a Tree Safety Inspection Report commissioned by Torbay Hospital and was conducted in November 2022. The tree was inspected from ground level and an aerial inspection to assess defects in the main stem. As a result of the inspection the tree was highlighted to be removed on safety grounds. It is an over mature poplar, rooted on the edge of Lowes Bridge footpath (on the edge of a water course). It has a heavy lean towards the railway line, and if were to fail would certainly land on the tracks. Early 2022, a secondary limb failure occurred with the large section falling onto the footpath below. There is an extensive cavity at approximately 9m on the main stem which extends at least 1m, downwards. There's evidence that the rootplate has heaved slightly, with disturbed, loose soil on the tension side of the tree. It has now grown beyond the existing canopy line of the surrounding trees, which is now introducing an increased wind load (prevailing westerly). It was originally highlighted in previous surveys to be removed, but I believe the applications were declined. The hospital are more than happy to re-plant.

10 Oxlea Close Torquay TQ1 2HB

My client is looking to take some weight of a sycamore tree ( T1 ) the tree is leaning towards a fairly busy road I have suggested that we carry out a 15% radial crown reduction. Bring the cuts back to 2nd growth points this will be a sufficient amount of growth/weight to help with the lean whilst keeping the tree healthy. There is a old sycamore coppice ( G1 ) which is over crowded and not letting in much light for the garden underneath to strive. I have suggested removing any dead wood within the crown, a 15% radial crown reduction bringing the cuts back to 2nd growth points and removing the 2nd leader to open up for more sun light.
