Planning application

58 Milton Street Brixham TQ5 0AR

Granted Torbay AT/2021/0287 Works To Tree Within CA

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.
