Yum Sing Cantonese Restaurant Old Torwood Road Torquay TQ1 1PN
5 DAY NOTICE - I herby notify the council for my intention to remove one dead and two snapped out branches over hanging a public car park at Yum Sing, Old Torwood Road, TQ1 1PN. As to my knowledge it is in a banket tpo. The tree is a macrocarpa which was damaged in the strong winds last week which has caused damage to the tree causing branches to be dangerous if not removed as it's over a public area. The owner has sent me some photographs which aren't very clear but you can see the brown of the leaves as they're dead.

Flat 1 Terracina Lower Erith Road Torquay TQ1 2PX
T1 - Holm Oak Proposal: Carry out a crown reduction of approximately 1-2 metres in height and lateral spread, maintaining the tree's natural shape. Reason: The tree has outgrown its setting and is now too large for the space. The works are intended to reduce its dominance and bring it back to a more proportionate and manageable size, while retaining its health, amenity, and character.
