TPO Ref: 2004.012 Applying for works on T4 Pine (Pinus radiata), T5 Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) and T6 Pine Customer wants to apply to crown raise T4 - Pine (Pinus radiata) by roughly 4 metres from ground level with the aim to improve the view from the house and to install a new and safe fence along the cliff edge in the future.

Customer wants to apply to crown raise T5 - Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) by roughly 5 metres from ground level to improve the view from the house. This tree is hanging over a public beech and the customer is worried about the weight of the tree becoming too much as the cliff its sat on continues to erode over the years from the impact of the sea. Customer also has the intention of installing a fence on the boundary to prevent public who are visiting the house walking too close to the cliff edge. Customer wants to apply to crown raise T6 - Pine (Pinus radiata) by roughly 4 metres from ground level. The beginning of T6's canopy consists of dead or crossing branches.

12 Penn Meadows Close Brixham TQ5 9PS

Proposed Works: Crown lift T1 Lime Tree (Tilia spp.) to 5.2 metres above ground level. Justification: The proposed crown lift is necessary to provide safe and unobstructed clearance for vehicles and pedestrians in accordance with industry and highway standards. The lower branches currently restrict access and visibility, creating potential safety concerns. Raising the crown to 5.2 m will also increase the amount of winter sunlight reaching the garden, enhancing light levels and overall amenity. The work will be carried out sensitively, removing primary and secondary growth as required, to maintain the tree's health, structural integrity, and aesthetic form. This management approach represents good arboricultural practice and will reduce the need for more significant interventions in the future.
