Works: Trees
Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.
Proposal
T1 Silver Birch - Remove and replace with Canadensis Spring Glory T2 Liquidambar - Remove and replace with Lamckii "Snowberry" T3 Liquidambar - Remove and replace with Laevis Snowflakes T4 Liquidambar - Remove and replace with Grandiflora Ballerina The specific replacement trees have been chosen as varieties of Amelanchier. Reasons for works: 1. Concerns about the Existing Trees ? Size and Growth: The current trees are semi-mature and are likely to grow significantly larger, which may: ? Outgrow the space available in the area. ? Pose a long-term risk to nearby structures, pathways, or utilities due to root systems or overhanging branches. ? Health and Safety Risks: ? The trees may present potential hazards, such as falling branches during storms or high winds. ? Impact on Light and Surroundings: ? The existing trees are blocking light to nearby properties and the communal area negatively impacting the enjoyment and use of the space. 2. Proposed Replacement Plan ? Smaller Flowering Amelanchiers: ? The chosen replacement trees have been carefully selected to ensure they remain smaller in size at maturity, mitigating the risks associated with large trees in this area. ? Biodiversity and Aesthetics: ? These flowering trees will enhance the local environment, supporting biodiversity by providing nectar and pollen for bees and other pollinators. ? They will improve the visual appeal of the area, contributing positively to the character of the landscape. 3. Commitment to Replanting and Environmental Responsibility ? One-for-One Replacement: ? For every tree felled, a new tree will be planted, ensuring no net loss to the tree population in the area. ? Sustainable Management: ? The proposed trees will require less maintenance and are more suited to the location, reducing future need for pruning or potential removal. ? Community and Environmental Considerations: ? The replacements will align with community goals of maintaining green spaces while...

Ash Tree at the bottom boundary of garden. Fell this tree as it is suffering from ash dieback (shows considerable loss of foliage over its crown). The tree overhangs road "The Orchards" and is close enough to possibly fall on these houses. Would look to replant with something that can be managed to hedge size.

Ash (T1) - fell because the tree's canopy fails to contribute to the visual amenities that enhance the character and setting of the Conservation Area. A healthy and well-structured canopy is essential for maintaining the aesthetic and ecological value of such areas, providing shade, habitat for wildlife, and visual cohesion with the surrounding landscape.

Flat 1 St Ives Court Furzehill Road Torquay TQ1 3JG
T001- Pine Proposed Works: Reduce the western (left-hand) lateral crown by approximately 2.0-2.5 metres back to suitable secondary growth to reduce end weight and rebalance the crown whilst retaining the tree's natural form. Remove the single lower lateral limb overhanging the garden (approximately 200mm diameter at the point of removal). Remove any dead, damaged or broken branches encountered during the works. All pruning to be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010 - Tree Work - Recommendations. Reason for Works: To reduce the dominance and leverage of the extended lateral limb, improve crown balance and lessen the visual impact over the garden whilst retaining the tree as a significant landscape feature. The removal of the lower limb will improve clearance beneath the canopy and facilitate ongoing garden use and maintenance. The proposed works represent routine arboricultural management and are not intended to adversely affect the long-term health or amenity value of the tree.

T001 - 1x Mature Holm Oak Reduce the height of 1x Primary stem by approximately 6.0 metres, leaving a final height of the stem at approximately 12 metres. Radial crown spread to remain un-affected at all compass points. All works shall retain the tree's main framework and natural form, maintaining a high proportion of the foliage-bearing structure. All final pruning cuts shall be made at suitable growth points in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree Work - Recommendations. Individual pruning wounds shall not exceed 100 mm in diameter & pruning cuts made at suitable growth points in accordance with BS 39982010 Tree Work - Recommendations. 1x Primary stem exhibiting a large tear at the union - Sectionally dismantle back to the first suitable primary union to reduce the risk of failure while retaining the remaining tree structure where practicable. Works are specified to reduce weight loading and sail area on the affected stem whilst retaining a balanced and structurally appropriate crown form. Area Tree Preservation Order & Conservation Area Justification The proposed works relate to 1x Mature Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) identified as T001. The tree forms a prominent landscape feature, and the proposed works have been carefully specified to retain the tree's overall amenity contribution, natural form, and long-term viability whilst addressing identified structural concerns within the crown structure. Arboricultural justification- One primary stem is exhibiting a significant tear and structural weakness at the union, increasing the likelihood of stem failure under continued wind loading and canopy weight. The proposed reduction and partial dismantling works are therefore considered necessary on arboricultural and safety grounds in order to reduce mechanical stress, weight loading, and sail area acting upon the affected stem which in turn will increase the likelihood of whole stem failure. The proposed works comprise the reduction in height of the affected primary
