  Requesting cyclical permission to re-pollard T1 Lime and G1 group of 12 Holme Oaks. Prior to having TPO's placed on them recently, these trees have been historically managed by pollarding, which kept them healthy and safe while encouraging new growth from the existing pollard points. Requesting cyclical permission to re-reduce G2 Field Maples - again these have been historically managed in this way to maintain the condition of the trees. Requesting cyclical permission to re-reduce T2 Sycamore - this has also been historically managed in this way to maintain its condition. Fell T3 and T4 due to dieback in the crown. These Pines are in close proximity to high value/risk targets in terms of property and public footpaths.

  T001 - 1 x Copper beech (Fagus sylvatica purpurea) - Reduce to tree in height from 13m to 11m not exceeding wounds of 75mm, and radial crown spread from 6.5m to 5m not exceeding wounds of 75mm. Crown raise tree to give a maximum clearance of 2.5 metres from the property. Justification for works - The tree has been reduced historically and has responded well resulting in limited amenity loss and a better relationship between tree and property.

  T001 Copper beech (Fagus sylvatica purpurea) - Sectionally dismantle and fell. T001 is situated approximately 1.2 metres from the dwelling, with 6?7 metres of canopy overhang, resulting in physical interference with the building, retaining wall damage consistent with root expansion, shading of habitable rooms, and ongoing maintenance burden . Although assessed as a tolerable risk, its retention would require repeated pruning that is considered unsustainable and likely to compromise its long-term form . The report also notes that the tree?s public visibility and wider amenity value are limited, with substantial surrounding tree cover maintaining local character . Replacement planting in a more suitable location within the garden is recommended , ensuring continued tree cover without the existing structural conflict or adverse impact on the enjoyment of the property.

  Tree ID: T1 - Beech (Copper Beech) as identified under the Modified Schedule of TPO 2025.005. Proposed Work: Sectional dismantle to ground level and reinstate 1x Ginkgo biloba standard at the southern end of the grounds as indicated on the attached sketch plan. Reasons for Work: Incompatible Spatial Relationship & Mutually Agreed Pruning Failure: The main stem of this 50ft tree stands within a critical 1.2 metres of the residential property, overhanging the building ridge line by 6-7 metres. In Case AT/2026/0070 (Page 2-3, Sec 8, 11), the Council's Tree Officer explicitly ruled that the pruning works required to achieve safe, long-term structural clearance from the roof would remove over 30% of the leaf-bearing volume, risk fatal 'sun scorch damage' to this thin-barked species, and invite decay. Because the physical proximity to the house is absolute, and the council formally agrees that the pruning required to clear the building is physiologically destructive to the asset, long-term retention under BS 3998 is entirely unviable. Arithmetic Defect in Standalone Amenity Scoring (True Score: 14):The TPO was confirmed subject to modifications on 12th December 2025, legally isolating the Beech tree as 'T1'. The collective evaluation score was benchmarked at the absolute minimum threshold of 15 for each property, but inflated by artificially combining data across two properties where the protected trees on each site are situated some 200 feet apart. In the confirmation report (Page 3), the council explicitly accepted the applicant's formal objection regarding local tree density and issued a 1-point reduction (-1) to the category score. Because the modified order must protect T1 on its standalone merits, its true standalone arithmetic score is 14. Torbay Council's local framework dictates a minimum score of 15 to justify a TPO. T1 falls below the threshold and its ongoing retention is procedurally unjustified. Minimal Public Landscape Contribution: Situated ......
