3 Overdale Close Torquay TQ2 8RD

T001 - Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica): Undertake a light, sympathetic lateral crown reduction of approximately 1.0-1.5 metres on the dwelling-facing aspect only in order to reduce encroachment toward the adjacent property and maintain a suitable spatial relationship with the building. Works to retain the tree's natural form and balanced crown structure, with an estimated post-work crown spread of approximately 6.5-7.0 metres on the pruned aspect and approximately 8.0 metres elsewhere throughout the retained canopy. Concurrent removal of significant deadwood over identified target areas, including adjacent dwellings and gardens, is also proposed as part of routine tree management. The proposed works are considered minor and proportionate arboricultural management intended to implement early-stage crown maintenance through small diameter pruning cuts, thereby avoiding the need for more extensive pruning works in the future. All works are to be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010 by suitably qualified and insured arboricultural contractors.

46 Seymour Drive Torquay TQ2 8PY

Beech Trees T1, T2 and T3 in G5 have fallen due to a mix of structural and physiological issues that made them unsafe. A large vertical cavity in the lower stem shows advanced internal decay and missing key structural parts have further weakened it. The bark and sapwood are deteriorating with exposed areas failing to heal or adapt, suggesting a low change of recovery. Together these problems create a clear risk of failure threatening nearby property and safety. Pruning isn't a viable option, so felling is advised to reduce the risk. T4 Beech Exising crown dimensions - Height Approx 17 Metres Lateral spread - Approx 10 metres average radius from stem Proposed Post Pruning Dimensions - Target Height Approx 14 metres Target Lateral Spread - Approx 7 metres average radius from stem Reduction Extent - Up to 3 metres across the upper and lateral canopy All cuts to be made back to suitable secondary growth points that are- Healthy and well placed to maintain natural form Capable of sustainging future growth No branch to be shortened by more than one-third of its length Maximum cut diameter 50 mm Final canopy shape - Even, balanced and naturalistic Objective - To mitigate increased wind exposure and load redistribtuion following the loss of adjacent trees T1-T3, enhancing T4's structural stability and safe retention.

48 Seymour Drive Torquay TQ2 8PY

Beech (T1) within the G6 fell because the tree shows multiple structural and physiological defects that threaten its safe presence in the landscape. A significant longitudinal cavity runs through the lower stem, indicating advanced internal decay. The lack of key skeletal components further weakens the tree's structural integrity. Deterioration of bark and sapwood is visible, with exposed areas failing to effectively compartmentalise or produce adaptive growth, suggesting a reduced capacity for recovery. These defects collectively pose a predictable risk of structural failure, endangering nearby property and public safety. Due to the extent of decay and compromised structure, remedial pruning is not feasible. Felling is recommended as a necessary risk mitigation measure. Pine (T6) shows a decline in vitality across the entire crown, evidenced by sparse foliage, reduced shoot growth, and poor needle retention. When directly compared with a neighbouring pine of the same species and similar age, T6 exhibits noticeably lower crown density and overall vigour, indicating a progressive decline. No signs of acute pathogen or pest activity were observed, suggesting the deterioration is likely due to age-related senescence or site-specific stress factors. Considering the extent of physiological decline and the tree?s diminished capacity for recovery, retention is not deemed viable. Felling is recommended to reduce future risk and preserve the visual and ecological character of the group.

19 East Pafford Avenue Torquay TQ2 8BZ

T1:Mature Hornbeam: Crown lift by removing the lowest branches to give a clearance of approximately 5.5 metres above ground level (or above highway/footpath/structure). Cuts to be made back to the main stem or appropriate laterals, maintaining a balanced form. Tree is currently very low over the highway and public footpath. There are BT Fibre cables feeding properties and this crown lift will also clear these cables also. Tree owner has received a letter from Swiss co asking for the works to be undertaken.

Other selective trimming and crown lifting of conifers will similarly maintain safe and unobstructed access along garden paths. All works will be undertaken sensitively to preserve plant health, maintain privacy and screening, and support long-term sustainable growth.
