  T1 & T2 - Ash: Fell to near ground level. The trees are showing symptoms consistent with Ash Dieback, including reduced leaf coverage during the summer months and the presence of deadwood within the crown. The condition is expected to progressively decline as a result of the disease, with recovery considered unlikely. T3 - Mimosa: Fell to near ground level. The tree is exhibiting heavy dieback throughout the crown and poor leaf coverage, indicating significant decline and limited potential for recovery. It is proposed that the removals be mitigated by replacement planting with appropriate tree species, either on site or within the immediate vicinity, to maintain long-term tree cover and visual amenity. Details of species, size, and planting location can be agreed with the Local Planning Authority. Note: T1 and T2 is under shared ownership of the applicant and their neighbours, Georgian Court, and located on the Georgian Court side of the boundary. T3 is located in the garden of 339 Babbacombe Road.

  T1 Monterey cypress: Selectively prune branches placing tension on the overhead telecommunications cable, cutting back to suitable lateral growth points and providing approximately 1 m clearance. Crown lift the road-facing crown to provide 5.2 m vertical clearance above the carriageway, measured from the road surface to the lowest remaining branch or foliage. Crown lifting should preferentially involve the shortening or removal of secondary branches. All pruning shall comply with BS 3998:2010. T2 Beech: Selectively prune branches contacting and placing tension on the overhead telecommunications cable, cutting back to suitable lateral growth points and providing approximately 1 m clearance. Avoid excessive crown thinning, indiscriminate reduction and unnecessary large-diameter pruning wounds. Retain the tree?s natural crown form. All pruning shall comply with BS 3998:2010. T3, T4 and T5 Pines: Fell to ground level. Entirely dead. Dead crown, no live foliage and clear evidence of total physiological failure. Retain the stumps. No stump grinding, as this would risk damaging the roots of neighbouring Scots Pines of the same species.
