5 Day Notice - Removal of dead Scot's Pine Tree

3 Roundham Road Paignton Torbay TQ4 6EZ

Holm Oak (T1) & (T2) - A reduction by 2 metres in the lower and mid part of the crown on the southern aspect with the maximum diameter of pruning cuts not exceeding 50 mm to minimise heartwood exposure and ensure that the reduction is proportional to the tree's original form. Cyclical management should be conducted every five years, as these processes are not widely visible to the public. The specified reduction will maintain a healthy leaf-bearing structure, providing the remaining framework can generate adequate leaf cover in the next growing season. Work will result in a natural and symmetrical appearance without solely focusing on aesthetic symmetry, ensuring biomechanical stability. Clare Lodge's garden is tiny and lacks sufficient light for the little plants. The encroaching crowns of trees T1 and T2 make the garden less enjoyable.

Rowcroft Avenue Road Torquay TQ2 5LS

1 x Holm Oak which is situated on the northern aspect of number 9 Pilmuir Avenue. Re-pollard to previous pollard points at approximately 6 metres above ground level. All arising material shall be removed from site and returned to our premises for recycling. Justification: 1. Cyclical Maintenance: As stated in BS3998 (Section 7.10)., once pollarding is initiated, it should be maintained by cutting new branches on a regular cycle. The frequency of re-pollarding depends on factors like species and site management. This tree's new growth is around 4 metres long therefore in line with the management objectives of the site we are proposing to re-pollard, to manage its size and maintain the intended structure at 6 metres above ground level. 2. Selective Cutting to Avoid Decay: BS3998 emphasises that during each cycle of pollarding, selective pruning is necessary to maintain some live branch material. To achieve this we will not be cutting back past knuckles but to just above to retain some functional material to establish new growth and prevent the spread of long term decay. Summary: The pollarding will reduce the trees overall height from 10 metres to 6 metres above ground level by removing the new growth of 4 metres to the previous pollard points. These sections provide a solid basis for re-pollarding the tree in line with recommendations set out within BS3998, ensuring the health and structural integrity of the Holm Oak in the short to long-term.

T3 Yew Crown Reduction (preferred option 1) Option 1 - reduce the height by 3m from branch tips, remove 1m from the east and south sides, nothing from the west side ? pruning back to suitable growth points. Option 2 - reduce the height by 2m from branch tips, 0.75m from the east side and 1m from the south side. Crown lift Crown lift over shed on south-west side by lifting up to 2.5m above ground level, shaped in naturally. Pruning back to suitable growth points. Reasons for works This tree is growing close to the rear of the house and dominates views into the garden. The garden has lacked long term management works for the last decade, this tree has outgrown its context. Pruning works are proposed in order to allow reasonable usage of the garden. Pruning works are proposed to manage the size of this tree which has very dense foliage, with very little light penetration all year round. Yews respond well to pruning, with regard to regrowth and resistance to decay.

Mayfield Meadow Road Torquay TQ2 6PR

T1 is a mature Monterey Pine (pinus radiata) which is growing adjacent to the boundary between Thornhill Cottage and Mayfield. The tree trunk is within the garden of Thornhill Cottage but the crown overhangs both the gardens of Mayfield and Thornhill Cottage, as seen on the attached plan. Branch unions appear good and the parts of the main stem which could be inspected from Mayfield appear sound. However, one large large lower limb has suffered a compression failure in storm force winds, and there is a fracture across it and associated cavity which is ~25 cm deep. An aerial inspection confirmed the extent of the split. It is proposed to remove this branch (back to the main stem) to remove risk of branch failure in further high winds. In addition, there is evidence of decline and shoot dieback in parts of the crown, and the tree regularly sheds cones into Mayfield's garden during hot or windy conditions. It is proposed to remove crown deadwood, pruning each dead branch back to a healthy growing point, and to remove cones where these are attached poorly and at risk of falling onto people or property underneath causing injury or death. This tree has suffered previous cracks and splits in large branches and has had previous remedial works carried out. This sensitive intervention now continues work to ensure that this tree which is of significance in the conservation area landscape can continue to be enjoyed safely in the winter to come.
