1 Oxlea Close Torquay TQ1 2HB

The tree in question is a Field Maple, approximately 17 meters high with the base of the trunk approximately 3ft across. The tree is situated in an area tpo (tpo ref 1972.010 (A4 and A3)) at address; 1 Oxlea Close, Torbay, TQ1 2HB. Applying for removing the tree in question. The tree is on a bank, leaning and is hollow with one side open at the base which continues up to approximately 7 meters high with visible decay, cracks going straight through the remaining trunk and visible signs of large areas of bark exclusion in the upper crown as shown in the pictures attached. The base of the tree has only approximately 35% remaining. As previously mentioned, the tree is leaning and has a limb resting on the neighbouring Field maple which I suspect is supporting the tree in question. There is no access for a tracked mewp or a crane to this site which means this tree will need to be climbed and the tree dismantled. There is a footpath directly behind the tree and many smaller shrubs and trees below and in the area. If the tree was to fail it would cause a lot of damage to the understory, shrubs and trees and would be likely to fall or roll onto the footpath. I wanted to get this job done asap to keep the safety aspect of this job high knowing that the extra weight of the sap rising and the leaves would add to the shock on the base while rigging. There are no trees near to rope in an extra line for safety. Seemingly this aspect of a 5 day notice wasn't considered and is not part of the criteria looked at. I would normally consider a monolith but as there are no trees to rope into in the area and with a large limb from this tree which is being supported into the neighbouring tree, on safety grounds the application is to reduce this tree down to 1 meter making it possible to do the final part by felling if space allows.

Walton Lodge Middle Warberry Road Torquay TQ1 1RS

Pine (T1) - fell because dead tree targeting pavement, replanting with the same species. Douglas fir (T2) - fell because of its asymmetrical crown interfering with a neighbouring mature oak, which will benefit from the lack of competition. The upper crown of the fir tree damages the arrangement of the first-order branches from the oak tree's trunk. Do not remove the tree stump, as this will damage the structural roots that support the infrastructure of the root plate, which provides strength and stability to the oak tree. The fir tree is not visible to the broader public. Replant with Rowan in a different part of the garden. Eucalypt (T3) - fell because targeting house located in the northeast and the seating area within the garden that was developed to a high standard. The tree suffered significant branch loss in the past within the lower, mid and upper westerly aspect of the crown. The asymmetrical shape of the crown poses a high risk of the tree falling and is not tolerated by the homeowner. The Eucalypt is not visible to the wider public. Replant with Cypress Oak fastigiate. Eucalypt (T4) - 3 metres reduction on the long phototrophic first order branch within the western aspect of the crown because targeting public right of way path and car park of Teneriffe property. Cheery (T5) - fell because of its asymmetrical crown and poor amenity appearance interfering with a neighbouring mature Thuja, which will benefit from the lack of competition. The upper crown of the Cherry tree damages the arrangement of the first-order branches from the trunk of the conifer tree. The fir tree is not visible to the broader public. Replant the same species in different parts of the garden.

Ash (T1) - Fell due to extensive symptoms of Chalara Dieback of Ash within the whole aspect of the tree crown. Tree targeting residential car parks, public road and pavement, there is no restriction on parking in this part of the road. Replant with smaller street tree species such as Mountain Ash. Pine (T2) and (T3) - 1.5 metres reduction on the southern aspect of the crowns only, as both trees have lost a significant part of their crown in the past and it's required to maintain their health and safety.

This poses a high risk of falling branches, which is not tolerated by the homeowner, as it could damage their house.

There are plans to plant new trees where appropriate spaces become available. At the moment some of the planting in the park is very densely spaced and some trees are becoming very drawn up and spindly rather than reaching their full potential, quite a number (sycamore, ash and holm oak) are self seeded and are therefore not necessarily in the best positions and may even cause future damage to the boundary walls. It would not therefore be appropriate to plant more trees in these circumstances but better to plant where there are gaps in the canopy.

1 Large Oak tree . Total removal of tree and replace with shrub 2 dying sycamore . total removal and replacement with shrub 3 Large sycamore - total removal and replacement with shrub All trees stand on a small area of bank 3-4 m above ground level. The trees severely overshadow the house ( Sketch C) . Leaves, falling branches and sap cause damage to vehicles parked at the property and the trees are located only 6 metres distance from the front of the property itself. The large sycamore ( tree 3) is also damaging the boundary wall. All trees are overhanging Museum Road and car park entrance. Sketch C is taken from a photo and demonstrates the height of the trees compared to the top of the property roof. Options other than total removal would still leave the property in a vulnerable position and at risk with stormy weather and bank erosion. The proposal would replace the large trees with shrubs which could be maintained at lower height, provide some privacy and also provide support to the environment

10 Oxlea Close Torquay TQ1 2HB

My client is looking to take some weight of a sycamore tree ( T1 ) the tree is leaning towards a fairly busy road I have suggested that we carry out a 15% radial crown reduction. Bring the cuts back to 2nd growth points this will be a sufficient amount of growth/weight to help with the lean whilst keeping the tree healthy. There is a old sycamore coppice ( G1 ) which is over crowded and not letting in much light for the garden underneath to strive. I have suggested removing any dead wood within the crown, a 15% radial crown reduction bringing the cuts back to 2nd growth points and removing the 2nd leader to open up for more sun light.

Magnolias Ilsham Marine Drive Torquay TQ1 2PN

Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) (T1) - Fell, height: 20m, Crown spread N:5m, S:3m, E:6m, W:4m The primary concern regarding the tree is its safety when considering its proximity to the property (6m). The tree is inclined towards the building and is growing in a dominant elevated position atop a bank in an area susceptible to high winds. If the tree should fail, it would strike the dwelling. The loading and weight is biased towards the property with the crown of the tree extending towards the accommodation. The height of the tree can be considered oppressive and has an impact on the owners ability to enjoy the safe use of their accommodation. The tree is interefing with the property owner's amenity and enjoyment of their property and creating a private nuisance due to: - Stress caused during periods of high winds (property owner is avoiding using rooms that are closest to the tree) - A significant obstruction of natural light In order to fully abate these concerns we would request to remove the tree and replace with a smaller tree appropriate for the space and location. See tree report for further assessment.
