Torbay refused this application for the reasons on the decision notice; only the applicant can appeal, and refused schemes often return in revised form. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

An amendment application makes limited changes to a permission that already exists; anything beyond modest adjustment needs a fresh application. More in our guide to planning application types.

  Failed retaining wall adjacent public highway. Part retrospective application - for root pruning. Part application for crown reduction. Recommendations: Do not cut any more of tree or roots over 2.5cm in diameter. Prune off small fibrous roots with sharp clean tool (such as secateurs) to minimise the size of the wound and reduce the possibility of decay pathogens gaining access to the roots. Cover exposed roots (including fine fibrous feeding roots) with hessian sack and wet to prevent further desiccation. Rebuild wall around tree shape and root form. Protect the roots from leachate with a polythene root barrier from base of foundation to level of tree mass. Undertake a crown reduction in height by 3m by drop crotching, reducing the lateral branches by 2m to leave a crown of a good form.

  T001 - Mature Beech (Fagus sylvatica) Observations: Mature beech with a substantial fungal fruiting body present at the base of the stem, visually consistent with Ganoderma spp. Sounding of the lower stem with a sounding mallet produced a pronounced hollow response extending from the base to approximately 2 m above ground level on the road-facing side, indicating potentially significant internal dysfunction and decay within the lower main stem. The defect is located within the tree?s primary load-bearing region, where the main stem transfers crown loading into the root system. Decay or loss of sound wood in this area is therefore considered structurally significant. The full extent of internal decay and remaining residual wall thickness could not be quantified through ground-based inspection alone. The tree supports a large mature crown and is located immediately adjacent to a public highway, with pedestrians, moving and parked vehicles, and nearby residential properties within the potential failure zone. Recommendation: Dismantle T001 to near ground level. The recommendation is based on the presence of basal fungal decay, the pronounced hollow response extending approximately 2 m up the lower stem, and the location of the defect within the principal load-bearing region of the tree. These findings materially reduce confidence in the tree's long-term structural reliability. Although the tree provides significant local amenity value within the Conservation Area, this is considered outweighed by the extent and structural significance of the identified defects and the potential consequences of whole-tree or basal failure onto the adjacent highway and surrounding targets.
