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.

  G1 - Mixed broadleaf group (holm oak dominant, with turkey oak, beech and occasional false acacia). Group located on a moderate slope, with several stems leaning towards the drive and property. Evidence of historic failures and falling is present on the lower slope. Some trees exhibit minor stem decay and defects typical of the species, with no indication of a significantly elevated risk. Many stems have been historically topped for view and property clearance. Proposed works (management cycle commencing 2025): Leaning holm oak stems on the lower slopes: Crown reduction to retain stems at approximately 5-7m, following BS3998:2010 principles. Works to be repeated on a 5-7-year cycle to maintain previous management and reduce mechanical loading on leaning stems. Previously topped trees within the group: Reduce crowns back to historic reduction points, retaining trees at approximately 5-7m, on a 5-7-year cycle to maintain established management and prevent excessive regrowth. False acacia: No works proposed. Reason for work: To maintain the established cyclical management regime, limit end-weight on leaning stems, and reduce the likelihood of branch or stem failure towards the drive and property, in accordance with BS3998:2010 recommendations for crown management and proportional pruning. This group of trees is not visible to the broader public.
