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.

Homecombe House St Albans Road Torquay TQ1 3ND

Oak (T1) - Reduce the outer crown to the NW and SW by up to 1.5 m, ensuring final cuts do not exceed 50 mm diameter. The resulting crown spread will be approximately 6-7 m from stem to crown edge in each direction, in accordance with BS 3998:2010. The tree is situated near No. 18, adjacent to a bus stop and car park within a landscaped garden. Works are proposed to mitigate nuisance from bird droppings on the patio, which pose a potential health risk, while retaining the tree's amenity and structural integrity. The proposed works are necessary to mitigate nuisance and health risks arising from bird droppings on the patio, which can act as breeding grounds for parasites transmissible to humans. The tree's proximity to a bus stop and landscaped car park increases public exposure, making crown management essential for safeguarding amenity and public health. Selective reduction of the NW and SW crown will lessen overhang and shading, while retaining the tree's overall form and structural integrity in accordance with BS 3998:2010. The works will ensure that the crown maintains adequate clearance above the adjacent car park, consistent with the minimum highway clearance standard of 5.03 m. This is particularly important given the restricted manoeuvrability for larger vehicles near the bus stop, where safe passage must be maintained for public transport, service, and emergency vehicles.
