Planning application
58 Milton Street Brixham TQ5 0AR
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
There is a pittisporum tree inside my boundary which extends over my neighbour's private road and overhangs his garden. It is enmeshed in their phone line as well and needs to be reduced to no more than 3metres high. There isn't a TPO on this tree, but I live in a conservation area. In the past the Conservation officer said that I didn't need permission to trim pittisporums or bays, but it is no longer possible to talk to the team.

T 030 - Multiple stemmed lapsed sycamore coppice. Growing on bank bordering road and in striking distance of third party properties to the north and south. Two primary stems to the north have been pollarded down to 3m. The eastern most stem has since died with large area of bark necrosis at 1.5m - 3m. The northern most stem which has had a primary limb pollarded is in severe decline with bark necrosis to the north at 2m. If the two stems are removed the remaining canopy will be biased totaly to the south and west and will be open to additional wind loading. Recommendations - Pollard to level already established, approximately 3m. Please see report excerpt for photos.
