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".

Photo Lime Tree 2 of 4 shows vis discoloration separation of Trunk 2 from Trunk 3. Separation >=12cm August 2026. No previous measurement. Photo Lime Tree 3 of 4 shows southern inclination of Trunk 2 and extended southern branch growth giving increasing weight leverage/imbalance. Photo Lime Tree 4 of 4 shows extent of recent years Beefsteak fungus at base of Trunk 2 - width c 25cms August 2026. Condition of Lime Tree discussed on site with Jamie, Trees in Need who has managed bi-annually maintenance on our trees for c 20 years. Fungal infection currently appears to be on Trunk 2 base but Trunk 2 is closely twinned with Trunk 3 at this level. Trunk 3 is however largely vertical and foliage more balanced and therefore less at longer term risk. So Imminent/emergency danger of Trunk 2 failure not likely but following precautionary action suggested Requested permission for following Action for Trunk 2. Remove all top growth c 6/7 meter level as show in Photo Lime Tree 3 where extended South lateral growth is prominent to provide a largely vertical Trunk with reduced weight /leverage .

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.
