Silverdale Meadow Road Torquay TQ2 6PR

Mature lime tree adjacent to shared driveway, overhanging neighbouring property line. After carrying out a basic ground inspection whilst carrying out other work at the property, we decided to conduct a climbing inspection to assess the condition of historical pollard points at approximately 8m from ground level due to poor visibility from the ground. Upon climbing the tree we inspected the main unions at each historic pollard point and as suspected from ground level, there were multiple areas of concern with included unions, pockets of dirt collecting within the unions and branches beginning to fail within the upper crown of the tree. The tree is situated close to a hilltop and can be exposed to strong winds. Due to the location of the tree there is a likelihood of serious damage or potential injury should any of the main unions fail in strong winds. I feel the tree is long overdue attention given the species and evidence of previous pruning. For the reasons outlined above I?m requesting a pollard at 8m (approx), to the previous pollard points, whilst retaining some of the lower secondary limbs, pollarded away from the stem, to give the tree some shape whilst it recovers from the pollard, and gives us anchor points for roped access for any future pruning.

Fairfield West Huxtable Hill Torquay TQ2 6RN

T1 - Beech - Crown lift by approximately 2 metres removing up to 30 minor secondary branches to provide clearnance while retaining a natural and balanced form. T2 - Beech - Lateral reduction of the crown by 1-2 metres to leave an approximate final spread of 6 metres with all pruning cuts made back to suitable growth points. T3 - Holm Oak - Lateral crown reduction by up to 1 metre leaving an approximate final spread of 5 metres, maintaining natural shape and tree health. Justification for proposed works. T1 - Beech - The tree has developed low-hanging branches with excessive lateral weight increasing the risk of branch failure. A minor crown lift will help reduce loading stress while improving clearance and maintaining tree health and form. The proposed works are proportional and preventative. T2 - Beech - The crown is growing in close proximity to the building with lateral spread approaching the structure. Selective lateral reduction will prevent future conflict with the property, minimise risk of damage and maintain a safe management distance while retaining the tree's natural shape. T3 - Holm Oak - This tree is also spreading toward the building and requires a light lateral reduction to prevent obstruction and potential contact with the structure. The work is preventative and intended to avoid future damage, shading and maintenance issues. All works are minimal, sympathetic and designed to retain natural form while preventing future structural or safety-related issues. The works are considered appropriate tree management rather than aesthetic alteration.

19 Monterey Close Torquay TQ2 6QW

T1- Monterey Pine Reason for Works: The Monterey Pine is showing advanced physiological decline, with an estimated 70% crown dieback. The tree contains large-diameter deadwood throughout the canopy and displays symptoms consistent with needle blight, including extensive needle loss and poor foliage condition. Vitality is severely reduced and decline is progressive with no realistic chance of recovery. Justification: The structural integrity of the tree is compromised due to the extent of deadwood and crown decline. This creates an increased risk of branch and potential stem failure, posing a hazard to nearby property. Removal via sectional dismantle is necessary to mitigate safety risks and prevent uncontrolled failure. Proposed Method: Sectional dismantle using controlled climbing and rigging techniques to safely lower sections and avoid damage to surrounding property and vegetation. Stump to be left level with the ground. Replacement Planting: A suitable replacement tree species, to be agreed with the Local Planning Authority, will be planted within the next planting season to maintain site amenity and biodiversity value.

TPO Ref: 2004.012 Applying for works on T4 Pine (Pinus radiata), T5 Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) and T6 Pine Customer wants to apply to crown raise T4 - Pine (Pinus radiata) by roughly 4 metres from ground level with the aim to improve the view from the house and to install a new and safe fence along the cliff edge in the future. The beginning of T4's crown is at roughly 3 metres from the ground. Customer wants to apply to crown raise T5 - Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) by roughly 5 metres from ground level to improve the view from the house.

Oak (T1) - In accordance with BS3998:2010, it is proposed to remove internal branches that are exerting mechanical pressure on the BT telecommunications cables, ensuring pruning cuts are made at appropriate junctions to preserve structural integrity and maintain a maximum clearance of one metre from the cables, while also undertaking the removal of dead, dying, or fractured branches exceeding 25mm diameter throughout the crown to mitigate risk and improve tree health, with all works to be carried out by a qualified arborist using clean, sharp tools to promote optimal healing and ecological sensitivity. Seating area located within the crown's dripline. Ash (G1) - Removal due to its declining condition and poor contribution to the garden?s visual amenity, which has otherwise been developed to a high standard. The tree is exhibiting clear signs of Ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus), and extensive decay is present within the lower stem, compromising its structural integrity and long-term viability. It is recommended that the tree be felled and replaced with a smaller, more suitable ornamental species, such as Sorbus, to enhance the landscape character and ensure sustainable planting within the garden setting.

Mayfield Meadow Road Torquay TQ2 6PR

T1 is a mature Monterey Pine (pinus radiata) which is growing adjacent to the boundary between Thornhill Cottage and Mayfield. The tree trunk is within the garden of Thornhill Cottage but the crown overhangs both the gardens of Mayfield and Thornhill Cottage, as seen on the attached plan. Branch unions appear good and the parts of the main stem which could be inspected from Mayfield appear sound. However, one large large lower limb has suffered a compression failure in storm force winds, and there is a fracture across it and associated cavity which is ~25 cm deep. An aerial inspection confirmed the extent of the split. It is proposed to remove this branch (back to the main stem) to remove risk of branch failure in further high winds. In addition, there is evidence of decline and shoot dieback in parts of the crown, and the tree regularly sheds cones into Mayfield's garden during hot or windy conditions. It is proposed to remove crown deadwood, pruning each dead branch back to a healthy growing point, and to remove cones where these are attached poorly and at risk of falling onto people or property underneath causing injury or death. This tree has suffered previous cracks and splits in large branches and has had previous remedial works carried out. This sensitive intervention now continues work to ensure that this tree which is of significance in the conservation area landscape can continue to be enjoyed safely in the winter to come.

Flat 7 Wilverley Wheatridge Lane Torquay TQ2 6RB

T1 - Sycamore south of the property - Pollard back to primary pollard points with final cuts made at approximately X4 metres from ground level. Initiate a well-balanced candelabra framework for future branch structure to establish. Tree is heavily leaning over railway lines on a steep bank with recent limb failures apparent in the tree. These works will massively reduce the wind sale effect especially when the tree is located in a very exposed location. T2 - Sycamore to the east of property - Crown reduce by 2-3m from the branch tips overall back to suitable pruning points while retaining the main framework & shape of the crown & therefore a high proportion of the foliage bearing structure. Tree is showing lower leaf density than expected at the time of year. Pruning the tree will reduce the wind sale effect on a very exposed location. Pruning cuts will not exceed 50mm in diameter. T2 existing height is 15m and post height after reducing is 12m.

Chelston Tower Mews Rawlyn Road Torquay TQ2 6PQ

T1- Holm Oak- framework pollard an application submitted in 2023 was refused for the removal of T1 and replanting in a more suitable position. T1 is a semi mature Holm Oak tree that completely covers the path at the property. this property is communal grounds and the client has a responsibility to keep the grounds safe for his tenants to use the garden area, unfortunately the leaves and droppings from the tree are causing a significant health and safety risk to tenants using the path because the path is becoming very shaded and slippery when leaf fall occurs. my client would like to resolve this issue by carry out a framework pollard and then managing the tree cyclically every 3 years by repollarding this still keeps the benefit of the tree but allows him to keep his tenants safe. the tree is currently 12 meters in height and 8 meters in spread we wish to pollard to 10 meters in height and 6 meters in spread the tree does not hold significant value within the landscape and the sight has various other large trees that contribute to the landscape so the proposed works would not negatively impact the landscape in any way but would allow the various site users to remain safe when using the garden path.
