Tree Surgeon consulted: Greg Laywood, Clear View Tree and Hedge Services Ltd. Recommendation for a cyclical application to undertake cyclical crown reductions (3/5 yearly) on a Holme oak tree located within the rear garden of the property, with the height reduced to 1m below an overhead telephone cable which has been enveloped within the canopy. All as previous application ref: AT/2021/0099/TPO, approved 11th May 2021. The tree also overhangs the access road to North Fields Industrial Estate which is used by multiple companies, serviced by large lorries and delivery trucks. A reduction on the canopy width will bring the canopy within the property boundary whilst maintaining the shape and proportion of the tree. The works are required to prevent damage to the telephone cable, and to prevent damage to the tree and vehicles as the delivery vehicles access/egress the Industrial Estate . All works will be undertaken by a Tree Surgeon in conformance to BS3998 "Recommendations for Tree Work 2010".

Street Record North Hill Close Brixham

Ash T1 stands within the communal frontage of North Hill Close, near residential buildings, parking bays, and pedestrian access routes. The tree?s position creates a high-value target zone where any structural failure would directly affect dwellings and regularly used areas. Under NTSG principles, this level of occupancy significantly increases the consequence of failure. Fraxinus excelsior is now widely affected by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus across Torbay and the wider region. T1 shows declining vitality and structural deterioration consistent with early?mid stage pathogen impact, including progressive crown dieback, sparse foliage, deadwood throughout the crown, brittle branch behaviour, and reduced adaptive growth. These signs are consistent with early?mid stage Ash Dieback. These defects reduce structural reliability and increase the likelihood of partial or whole-tree failure. Given the tree?s location, foreseeable risk, and species-specific decline trajectory, pruning would not provide meaningful long-term mitigation. Removal is the only proportionate intervention. A suitable replacement (e.g., Sorbus aria or Carpinus betulus) can be planted within the frontage to maintain canopy continuity.

Meadow Bank 16 Penpethy Road Brixham TQ5 8NW

Beech T2 specifications 1) Reduce the sides of the southern, western and northwestern aspects of the crown by 2-3m with a 100mm maximum cut diameter. This northwestern crown radius will reduce from approximately 7m to 5m. The southern crown radius will reduce from approximately 7m to 5m. The western crown radius will reduce from approximately 14m to 11m. 2) Remove the lowest limb in the southern crown - approximately 200mm in diameter Beech T2 reason for works (Tree report must be read) Previous root disturbance is suspected - potentially destabilising the rooting system. The tree has a significant crown bias to the west. Pruning will reduce the loading on the root system and therefore reduce the likelihood of it uprooting. Tree stands within falling distance to parking. The lowest limb is struck by delivery vehicles, there are limited options for branch reduction. Beech T3 specifications 1) Reduce the sides of the northern, eastern and southern crown aspects by 2.5m ? use a 100mm maximum cut diameter. The crown radius will reduce from approximately 8m to 5.5m. 2) Reduce the top of the tree by 1.5m - use a 75mm maximum cut diameter. The height of the tree will reduce from approximately 19.5m to 18m. Beech T3 reason for works (Tree report must be read) The base of the main stem is decayed. Pruning will reduce bending load and torsional load on the stem base and reduce the likelihood of stem failure. The tree stands within falling distance to the neighbour's house.

7 Northfields Lane Brixham TQ5 8RS

G1 - Cypress Suggested Works: Dismantle southernmost tree (closest to residential property) in stages to near ground level, reduce height of remaining two trees by 2 metres, Maximum Diameter of Cuts (MDC) 50mm. Trim all round to shape. Rationale: The southernmost tree of the group is clearly in a declining state - there is dieback in the canopy plus separation between the stems on the southern side. Additionally, the tree is growing within 50cms of the residential property. With limited pruning options available, due to the tree's species and form, and the current state of the tree we believe that the tree is not suitable for retention and removal is the only viable option. Reducing the two remaining trees is to reduce loadings on the newly exposed stems following the removal of the adjacent tree in G1.

Rock Bank West Higher Manor Road Brixham TQ5 8HA

Oak T1 - Proposed work: Fell. Justification: The tree exhibits a pronounced lean with a restricted rooting environment, resulting in reduced structural stability. Removal is appropriate due to limited long-term retention potential. Natural regeneration is generally expected and seen as a suitable strategy for this species. Oak T2 - Proposed work: Re-coppice to previous points. Justification: Evidence of decay within the lower stem. Re-coppicing helps restore a stable coppice stool and keeps the tree contributing to the hedge structure. Natural regeneration is generally expected and seen as a suitable replacement strategy for this species. Oak T3 - Proposed work: Fell. Justification: Significant lean combined with constrained rooting space, limiting safe future development. Removal is appropriate given the low long-term viability. Natural regeneration is generally expected and seen as a suitable strategy for this species. Oak T4 - Re-coppice to previous points. Justification: Decay is present in the lower stem. Re-coppicing helps restore a stable coppice stool and keeps the tree contributing to the hedge structure. Natural regeneration is generally expected and seen as a suitable replacement strategy for this species. Sycamore T5 - Proposed work: Crown reduction by up to 2m, maintaining natural form. Justification: Works intended to manage crown spread and maintain appropriate clearance while retaining tree health and amenity value. The tree lost its stability and possibly some roots when the neighbouring wall collapsed last year. Oak T6 - Proposed work: Remove the lowest-order branch only. Justification: Minor branch removal required to facilitate access for larger vehicles. The branch is of small diameter with an acceptable 3:1 ratio, and removal will not adversely affect the tree's form or vitality.

19 Horsepool Street Brixham TQ5 9LD

Plan is to pollard T1 (Sycamore) and T2 (Oak) to the height of the larger conifer hedge as shown in marked photo. The primary reason for this work is risk mitigation. A large Ash tree that previously stood directly between T1 and T2 failed a few years ago, falling into the school playground located immediately behind the property. Honey fungus was identified on the failed Ash, indicating the potential for decay and structural weakness in trees of this proximity and species. Pollarding T1 and T2 to the height of the neighboring conifer hedge will limit the risk of structural failure while maintaining the trees in a safe and manageable form. The proposed pollarding is proportionate and minimal, ensuring the trees continue to contribute to the character and visual amenity of the area, while mitigating the risk posed by potential fungal infection or structural defects.

149 Northfields Lane Brixham TQ5 8RH

Chestnut Tree on Northfields Lane. Tree T1 on sketch. Works requested: - Crown reduction by approximately 3 metres in height and 3 metres in lateral spread, resulting in a final height of around 14.92 metres (current height = approx. 17.92metres) and a final spread of around 11.66 metres (current spread = approx. 14.66 metres). - Crown thinning of up to 20%, evenly throughout the canopy, to reduce wind resistance and improve light penetration. - Selective pruning of long/heavy limbs to reduce weight and risk of branch failure, particularly on limbs overhanging public pathway, road and neighbouring property. - Removal of all significant deadwood throughout the crown in the interests of public safety. - All pruning cuts to be made back to suitable growth points to maintain the tree?s natural shape and structure. Reason for works: - A large limb (3 metres+) has recently broken from near the top of the tree, demonstrating the risk of further branch failure. I've attached photos of this. - The tree stands adjacent to, with limbs overhanging, public road, public footpath, my pathway and driveway to house, and neighbouring garden (there are young children who play in the garden) where falling branches could cause serious injury or damage. - The proposed works are intended to reduce the likelihood of future branch failures, while preserving the health and amenity value of the tree. This work would be carried out by an Arboricultural Association-approved contractor in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work ? Recommendations.
