Rowcroft Avenue Road Torquay TQ2 5LS

T1: Mature Holm Oak: Crown reduce the height and lateral spread by approximately 3 - 3.5 metres, pruning branch tips back to suitable secondary growth points to retain a natural crown outline. Works to achieve a balanced canopy with no more than one-third of foliage removed in accordance with BS 3998:2010. Tree is heavily leaning towards neighbouring property and the canopy is all weighted in the same direction due to it being a woodland edge tree. The requested works are to help reduce excessive shading within the garden area. The tree is very imposing from the property with its heavy lean towards property and growing from bank at its canopy spread.

Rowcroft Avenue Road Torquay TQ2 5LS

T1 - x1 Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) Proposed works: Re-pollard the tree to approximately 6 metres above ground level, being approximately 3 metres above the previous historic pollard points. The tree is a previously managed pollard which has lapsed, resulting in elongated regrowth with increased end-weight. Re-instating the pollard is appropriate cyclical management. The current canopy contributes to excessive shading and loss of light to the adjacent dwelling and garden areas, negatively affecting residential amenity. Significant leaf debris and organic matter from the canopy is accumulating on the house and garage roofs, leading to persistent damp conditions and the development of algae/green growth, increasing maintenance requirements and risk of roof deterioration. The proposed height retains the tree in a sustainable, manageable form, preserving its long-term health and contribution to local amenity. T2 - x1 Lucombe Oak (Quercus - hispanica -Lucombeana?) Proposed works: Remove epicormic growth from the main stem up to the crown break, to a height of approximately 5.5 metres. Epicormic growth is dense and visually intrusive, detracting from the tree?s natural form and the amenity of the site. Removal will improve light penetration to the property and surrounding areas without affecting the main crown structure. Epicormic shoots can form weakly attached growth; removal improves structural clarity and long-term tree management. The works are minor, selective, and will not adversely affect the tree's overall health or amenity value.

Villa Rosa St Lukes Road South Torquay TQ2 5NZ

T1 - 1x Horse Chestnut Tree (Aesculus hippocastanum) Undertake selective crown lifting of primary and secondary branches overhanging the garden area of Villa Rosa. All pruning cuts are to be made back to the main stem, in order to achieve appropriate clearance while retaining the overall health, structural integrity and natural form of the tree (see annotated photo attached). All pruning operations shall be carried out in full accordance with BS 39982010 - Tree Work Recommendations, ensuring that final pruning cuts are made at suitable growth points and that unnecessary or excessive pruning is avoided. Individual pruning wounds shall not exceed 60 mm in diameter, thereby minimising physiological stress to the tree and reducing the risk of decay or dysfunction. All arisings generated from the works shall be removed from site and returned to a Devon Tree Services depot for recycling. Upon completion, the site shall be left in a safe, clean, and tidy condition. Justification The proposed selective pruning works to the Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) are intended to address issues of excessive shading and to manage branch growth extending over the garden area of Villa Rosa. The overhanging primary and secondary branches currently restrict natural daylight penetration, adversely affecting garden amenity and usability. In addition, a number of extended lateral branches exhibit increased end-weight and leverage beyond the garden boundary. Selective reduction back to suitable previous pruning points or, where necessary, to the main stem will reduce mechanical loading on these limbs and lower the risk of branch failure, particularly during periods of high wind or adverse weather. The proposed works are minor, targeted, and proportionate, and have been designed to retain the tree's overall health, structural integrity, and natural form. All pruning will be undertaken in full accordance with BS 3998:2010 - Tree Work: Recommendation.

Specification of Works T1 & T2 2x Holm Oaks (Lower Trees) ? Reduce the height of each tree by approximately 2.0m, retaining a final height of approximately 6.0m. ? Reduce the radial crown spread by approximately 1.50m, retaining a final spread of approximately 5.50m at all compass points. ? Works will retain the tree?s natural framework, preserving the aesthetic value of the trees within the local landscape. ? Pruning wounds will not exceed 40mm in diameter. T3 ? 1x Holm Oak (Upper Tree) ? Reduce the height of the tree by approximately 1.5m, retaining a final height of approximately 6.0m. ? Reduce the radial crown spread by approximately 1.5m, retaining a final spread of approximately 5.0m at all compass points. ? All pruning cuts will be made at suitable growth points in accordance with BS3998:2010. ? Individual wounds will not exceed 40mm in diameter. Justification for Proposed Works The proposed pruning works are intended to maintain the trees in a safe and healthy condition. The Holm Oaks are beginning to exert dominance over the terrace area, resulting in reduced light levels to the garden spaces. Due to the characteristics of Hom Oak, producing vigorous growth, proactive cyclical maintenance will help retain the trees as valuable amenity features whilst preventing the need for more severe intervention in the future. The works are considered proportionate and in line with good arboricultural practice, seeking only to reduce excessive extension growth and restore suitable proportions to the crown. The trees will retain their natural form and main structural framework, with crown density and vitality maintained. All pruning operations will follow the principles set out in BS3998:2010 Tree Work ? Recommendations, ensuring that: ? The overall habit/form of the trees is preserved. ? A high proportion of the foliage-bearing structure is retained. ? Individual pruning wounds will not exceed 40mm in diameter. ? Cuts will be made to suitable growth points to encourage
