  The reason for the tree removal request is that the location and size/type of tree are incompatible. The tree is a Mexican Fan Palm which are fast growing, with heights up to 100 feet possible. The tree is located only a few metres from 2 properties, and specifically located adjacent to a main road (Ranscombe Road, a major access road to the Marina/Berry Head) with a raised wall supporting surrounding properties. The tree is already causing issues for a small retaining wall (see photo attached) and the damage to the immediate location will only get worse such that it is believed that removal will inevitably be required at some point, so it makes sense to do this sooner rather than later (thereby reducing impact, cost and technical issues). We have commissioned a review by a professional local company (Advanced Tree Care, Brixham) who have visited the site and clarified that tree management/maintenance options were strictly limited due to the tree type, such that it is only possible to remove dead leaves for appearances rather than control growth. There is another palm tree within a metre of the Fan Palm and the plan is to leave that one, letting it flourish with the improved light such that the visual impact of losing the Fan Palm is diminished over time.
