1 St Ronans Middle Warberry Road Torquay TQ1 1RP
We are requesting the removal of a large sycamore tree on the West side of the driveway at St Ronans, the tree is imposing on the yew trees that sit behind it and it is also intruding on the tree canopy of the Scotch Pines, which pre date the Sycamore and are characteristic of the Warberry Hillside. The sycamore also creates a lot of debris in Autumn and pigeons roost in it in Spring and this creates a dangerous surface for some of the elderly residents that live in the flats at St Ronans. This is already a steep driveway so the combination in the winter makes it very dangerous. If removal of the sycamore is granted we will replace it with a new yew tree or Scotch Pine, whichever is your preference.
