    T1 - Ash Tree - Sectionally dismantle, fell & remove to ground level. Remove all cut material from site & return to a Teign Trees depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean & tidy. Reason for proposed tree removal; Hymenoscyphus fraxineus Ash Dieback has been identified. The tree has been classed as in Class 2 stage of dieback with 75%-51% of the crown remaining (The Tree Council - ADB A Guide For Tree Owners). If left the trees health will only deteriorate making removal dangerous.

    Re Pollard Chestnut. It is considered that the proposal to re-pollard the horse chestnut is appropriate. As the tree has been previously pollarded the re-growth will not be as strongly attached to the parent stem as naturally formed growth, as such if the re-growth is allowed to get too heavy it can be liable to snapping out during unsettled weather. Also the horse chestnut overhangs the main road, and would have the potential to cause damage should it fail. There are a number of other substantial trees in the adjacent area to the horse chestnut. Due to the other trees in the area, the proposed works are unlikely to have any detrimental impact on the amenity of the area and as such it is recommended that the works are approved.
