Lower Ground Floor Flat Lisburne House Lower Woodfield Road Torquay TQ1 2JY
80% historically approved · decision due ~4 Nov
T1 - Sycamore: The tree has a narrow fork with included bark between the main stems. Branches within the crown show bark stripping consistent with squirrel damage, leaving areas of exposed wood. Deadwood is also lodged within the crown. Felling is proposed due to concerns about the structural condition of the main fork and damaged branches, taking into account the tree's position beside the garden access steps and the potential consequences of falling material for people using this area. The tree is not visible from public viewpoints. T2 - Sycamore: The tree occupies a restricted rooting area adjacent to the wall. Its size and position raise concerns about its anchorage and the potential for whole-tree overturning. Failure of the root plate could displace the adjoining masonry and potentially cause the wall to collapse. Felling is proposed to address these concerns. The tree is not visible from public viewpoints. A Tree Preservation Order was made in 1973. The current dimensions of T1 and T2 suggest they became established after that date; these trees proposed for felling can be considered under a Section 211 conservation-area notification.

Flat 2 The Lawn Lower Woodfield Road Torquay TQ1 2JY
A large Robinia pseudoacacia (approximately 40m high - tree has become dangerous in recent years dropping several large branches and showing decay at the base and a cavity in the upright stem. Further branch falls or the main trunk failing could result to damage to Torwood Villas or Leighswood in Torwood Gardens and therefore the tree is dangerous and represents a safety risk to the occupants of those two buildings. The proposal is to remove the tree completely to mitigate the risk to nearby people and property and plant a standard Ash in the same position or other species of the council prefer.
