Chilcote House 14 Manor Road Torquay TQ1 3JX
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.

Abbey School Fore Street Torquay TQ1 4PR
- Sycamore more removal to ground level - Chip all debris and remove from site Reasons for work: Tree 1: Located in the playground, Tree 1 has self -seeded extremely close to the school building and there is potential for the structure of the foundations to be negatively impacted. The branches have reached the telephone wires, which may lead to them being compromised, should the tree be allowed to continue to grow. Tree 2: Adjacent to the school building between the school boundary wall and Hampton Court carpark, Tree 2 has great potential to cause structural damage to the wall and to the school building. In 2022, removal of a tree also located adjacent to the boundary wall was felled in agreement with SWISCO as it was damaging the wall, posing a risk to the public. I believe it is prudent to fell this tree in order to avoid this occurring in the future.
