Chelston Tower Mews Rawlyn Road Torquay TQ2 6PQ
T1- Holm Oak- framework pollard an application submitted in 2023 was refused for the removal of T1 and replanting in a more suitable position. T1 is a semi mature Holm Oak tree that completely covers the path at the property. this property is communal grounds and the client has a responsibility to keep the grounds safe for his tenants to use the garden area, unfortunately the leaves and droppings from the tree are causing a significant health and safety risk to tenants using the path because the path is becoming very shaded and slippery when leaf fall occurs. my client would like to resolve this issue by carry out a framework pollard and then managing the tree cyclically every 3 years by repollarding this still keeps the benefit of the tree but allows him to keep his tenants safe. the tree is currently 12 meters in height and 8 meters in spread we wish to pollard to 10 meters in height and 6 meters in spread the tree does not hold significant value within the landscape and the sight has various other large trees that contribute to the landscape so the proposed works would not negatively impact the landscape in any way but would allow the various site users to remain safe when using the garden path.

T1 is a mature Monterey Pine (pinus radiata) which is growing adjacent to the boundary between Thornhill Cottage and Mayfield. The tree trunk is within the garden of Thornhill Cottage but the crown overhangs both the gardens of Mayfield and Thornhill Cottage, as seen on the attached plan. Branch unions appear good and the parts of the main stem which could be inspected from Mayfield appear sound. However, one large large lower limb has suffered a compression failure in storm force winds, and there is a fracture across it and associated cavity which is ~25 cm deep. An aerial inspection confirmed the extent of the split. It is proposed to remove this branch (back to the main stem) to remove risk of branch failure in further high winds. In addition, there is evidence of decline and shoot dieback in parts of the crown, and the tree regularly sheds cones into Mayfield's garden during hot or windy conditions. It is proposed to remove crown deadwood, pruning each dead branch back to a healthy growing point, and to remove cones where these are attached poorly and at risk of falling onto people or property underneath causing injury or death. This tree has suffered previous cracks and splits in large branches and has had previous remedial works carried out. This sensitive intervention now continues work to ensure that this tree which is of significance in the conservation area landscape can continue to be enjoyed safely in the winter to come.
