Oak (T1) and (T2) - Crown reduction of up to 1 metre to address structural imbalance and reduce the risk of further branch failure, while maintaining the natural form and primary structural framework with an approximate final crown spread of approximately 6-7 metres. Reduction cuts will be made at suitable lateral growth points. All pruning wounds will not exceed 50mm in diameter. Crown Spread Measurement - The stated final crown spread of approximately 6 to7 metres refers to the radial spread, measured from the stem to the outermost extent of the crown in each direction. This interpretation is consistent with BS 3998 2010, Clause 3.6 and Clause 7.7.3 which recommend specifying crown dimensions in terms of radial spread to ensure clarity and consistency in pruning specifications. Tree Height - No reduction in overall tree height is proposed. The works are limited to lateral crown reduction to address structural imbalance. Both specimens exhibit structural imbalances, particularly asymmetric crown development. This has contributed to recent branch failure on T1, indicating a potential hazard to property and public safety. No signs of severe pathogen presence were observed, but mechanical stress and crown asymmetry were noted. The site is primarily urban and industrial, surrounded by a vehicle yard and a building complex. The area is notably busy, with many people engaged in work. Elm (T3) - Fell, dead specimen poses now an elevated risk.

Photo 1 Shows the three trees in question. The trees are protruding out of the cliff wall below our garden safety fence they have not been trimmed for many years and we have recently moved in so we wish to stop any further cliff damage from the weight of the canopy Tree 1 We wish to trim the top canopy see image 3 for clarity. Tree 2 We wish to remove as it is causing the upper part of the cliff to be unstable. It?s is very close to Tree 1 It is also causing excessive damp and leaves in our neighbours garden below making it difficult for them to be kept safe as the leaves all fall on their flat roof below which is causing damage. If the tree was to become more unstable / dangerous or even fall it would go straight through their roof Tree 3 is about 12 feet further down the cliff and we wish to trim this so it does not get too large and cause further cliff damage or fall onto the property below. At present it is medium size and it would be prudent to not let it get larger. Photo 2 Shows the same three trees but from the Terrace at the front of the building. Photo 3 Shows the trim area on Tree 1 The removal of Tree 2 and the trim area on tree 3 Photo 4 is an aerial / plan view of the property location and the trees involved.

5 Day Notice - Removal of dead Scot's Pine Tree

Rowcroft Avenue Road Torquay TQ2 5LS

1 x Holm Oak which is situated on the northern aspect of number 9 Pilmuir Avenue. Re-pollard to previous pollard points at approximately 6 metres above ground level. All arising material shall be removed from site and returned to our premises for recycling. Justification: 1. Cyclical Maintenance: As stated in BS3998 (Section 7.10)., once pollarding is initiated, it should be maintained by cutting new branches on a regular cycle. The frequency of re-pollarding depends on factors like species and site management. This tree's new growth is around 4 metres long therefore in line with the management objectives of the site we are proposing to re-pollard, to manage its size and maintain the intended structure at 6 metres above ground level. 2. Selective Cutting to Avoid Decay: BS3998 emphasises that during each cycle of pollarding, selective pruning is necessary to maintain some live branch material. To achieve this we will not be cutting back past knuckles but to just above to retain some functional material to establish new growth and prevent the spread of long term decay. Summary: The pollarding will reduce the trees overall height from 10 metres to 6 metres above ground level by removing the new growth of 4 metres to the previous pollard points. These sections provide a solid basis for re-pollarding the tree in line with recommendations set out within BS3998, ensuring the health and structural integrity of the Holm Oak in the short to long-term.

T1 Horse Chestnut: Reduce crown in height by 4m to leave a tree of 18m height Reduce crown from east by 2m to leave a tree of with crown spread 4 - 5m to east. Reduce crown from south by 1m to leave a tree of with crown spread 7m to south. Reduce crown from west by 3m to leave a tree of with crown spread 4m to west. Reason for works: The proposed reduction is to reduce loadings on branches and therefore reduce the risk of branch failure. It is also to attempt to rebalance the tree. See QTRA report for further details.

T1 Blue - x1 Mature Holm Oak - Crown lift secondary & sub lateral branch growth only, to provide a clearance of approximately x5.0 metres between ground level and foliage tips, to achieve the desired vertical clearance above the boundary fence & adjacent garden area. Remaining pruning cuts shall not exceed 40 mm in diameter. Remove all cut material from site & return to a Devon Tree Services depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean & tidy. G1- Holm Oak, Laurel, Ivy- Rear Garden Areas of 5, Valley View Close - Laurel, Holm Oak & Ivy Growth - Cut back all overhanging branch growth hard to the boundary line. The trees all overhang heavily into the adjacent garden areas of 5, 7 & 9 Valley View Close. The proposed works are to reduce excessive shading into all properties & garden areas. The younger smaller holm oak stems are touching & damaging the boundary fence, removal is to stop further damage occurring. The proposed works will not impact on the overall amenity value of the area.
