64 Haytor Avenue Paignton TQ4 7TB

Please consider this application as a '5 Day Notice - With intent to fell' Numerous fruiting bodies of the decay fungus Meripilus giganteus are present around the base of the tree, along with immature fruiting bodies of a Ganoderma species of wood decay fungus, indicating the likely established (and advancing) decay within the main structural roots and stem of the tree. The crown of the tree is displaying sub-optimal vitality and density, compared with the same parameters in the summer of 2024. We believe with the root system and stem being compromised, along with the crown being in leaf that there is a immediate danger of whole tree failure in the current strong wind conditions. Due to the close proximity of the surrounding properties, there is a potential for structural damage and loss of life. Hi-Line would also prefer to proceed with these works 'as soon as possible' due to the positioning of the tree. There is VERY limited work space for dismantling with no access for a crane. As the weather worsens, rigging down the tree and extracting it will only add considerable damage to the surrounding gardens and further expense to the home owner. Replacement tree (species) to be discussed with the homeowner.

Morden House Cockington Lane Torquay TQ2 6QT

Oak (T1) - In accordance with BS3998:2010, it is proposed to remove internal branches that are exerting mechanical pressure on the BT telecommunications cables, ensuring pruning cuts are made at appropriate junctions to preserve structural integrity and maintain a maximum clearance of one metre from the cables, while also undertaking the removal of dead, dying, or fractured branches exceeding 25mm diameter throughout the crown to mitigate risk and improve tree health, with all works to be carried out by a qualified arborist using clean, sharp tools to promote optimal healing and ecological sensitivity. Seating area located within the crown's dripline. Ash (G1) - Removal due to its declining condition and poor contribution to the garden?s visual amenity, which has otherwise been developed to a high standard. The tree is exhibiting clear signs of Ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus), and extensive decay is present within the lower stem, compromising its structural integrity and long-term viability. It is recommended that the tree be felled and replaced with a smaller, more suitable ornamental species, such as Sorbus, to enhance the landscape character and ensure sustainable planting within the garden setting.
