19 Colwyn Court Asheldon Road Torquay TQ1 2QT
T1 - Monterey Cypress. Remove major hazardous deadwood T2 - Holm Oak. Reduce height by 4m, maximum diameter of cut (MDC) 75mm. Reduce southern aspect by 3-4m, MDC 1 @ 125mm, remaining at 75mm. Reduce eastern aspect by 3m, MDC 75mm Reason for Works: T1 is clearly in decline and the deadwood needs removing on safety grounds T2 is heavily weighted to the south and is having a significant impact on the property below. Given the tree?s characteristics and the ground conditions, a weight reduction is recommended to reduce leverage, and therefore loadings, on both the tree and at ground level. As Holm Oaks generally tolerate such works well, the specified reduction is expected to have minimal impact on the tree?s physiological process and health overall.

Derwent Hill Greenway Road Torquay TQ2 6JE
PLEASE NOTE - TREE NUMBERS RELATE TO ASPECT TREE CONSULTANCY PLAN (03972 TLP), NOT TO NUMBER ON TPO SCHEDULE T1 ? Monterey cypress: Crown spread SE to 4m above ground level. Remains of eastern stem present, decayed but of limited significance. Crown lift on eastern side of tree removing: 1) Two lowest branches 100mm in diameter originating at 4m and 4.5m above ground level. 2) NE primary limb originating at 4.5m above ground level - remove two lowest secondary branches originating at 1m from base of the branch (the lowest one has a split 2m from trunk and the other is 20cm above it). 3) NE Primary limb, secondary branch growing east 1m from trunk 100mm in diameter and tertiary branches growing east up to 5m above ground level from underside of branch. 4) Remove lowest branch N growing in a NNW direction toward house, which is over the roof of the extension, originating at 6.5m above ground level from second lowest primary branch, maximum 100mm in diameter. 5) Tertiary branches SW at 4.5m above ground level 50mm in diameter. All pruning is in accordance with BS3998 and relates to less than 5 to 8% of total crown volume. Reasons: To provide reasonable clearance of the house, garden, ancillary structures and the neighbouring property. The works accord with BS 3998 2010 Tree Work - Recommendations and the extent of foliage / bud removal do not exceed national guidance. The trees physiological condition is good, and the works will not lead to decline in the tree?s health. The size of pruning cuts will not allow heartwood decay to develop. The works will not affect the trees visual amenity value. T2 Lime: Crown lift and/or crown reduce to include: 1) Crown lift to 4m above ground level removing tertiary and secondary branches only and maximum 75mm in diameter (some parent branches are 100mm but prune back to nearest growth point at 75mm in diameter) up to 5m above ground level. 2) Reduce lowest primary east originating at 4m above ground level by 4m f...

Sea Pines Windsor Road Torquay TQ1 1SW
Planning Application to Fell Sycamore Tree T2 (TPO) Sea Pines Sycamore Tree T2 ? Fell. Decay found at the base of the tree, penetrating by approximately 6-8 inches and extending up the trunk by approximately 12 inches. With all the current weather conditions and the fact that this tree is in close proximity and leaning towards our bungalow, we are concerned that this Sycamore tree T2 is now a safety risk to our property. An inspection of the tree was made by a qualified arborist Mr James Northcott of Trees in Need, who confirmed this significant decay, and recommended that the tree be felled on the grounds of safety. As we are deeply concerned about planting trees in close proximity to our property, we are happy to plant an attractive tree such as a Liquidambar Styraciflua on our northern boundary. This would offer amenity value forming an attractive group of trees alongside our Tulip Tree.

T1 Silver Birch - Remove and replace with Canadensis Spring Glory T2 Liquidambar - Remove and replace with Lamckii "Snowberry" T3 Liquidambar - Remove and replace with Laevis Snowflakes T4 Liquidambar - Remove and replace with Grandiflora Ballerina The specific replacement trees have been chosen as varieties of Amelanchier. Reasons for works: 1. Concerns about the Existing Trees ? Size and Growth: The current trees are semi-mature and are likely to grow significantly larger, which may: ? Outgrow the space available in the area. ? Pose a long-term risk to nearby structures, pathways, or utilities due to root systems or overhanging branches. ? Health and Safety Risks: ? The trees may present potential hazards, such as falling branches during storms or high winds. ? Impact on Light and Surroundings: ? The existing trees are blocking light to nearby properties and the communal area negatively impacting the enjoyment and use of the space. 2. Proposed Replacement Plan ? Smaller Flowering Amelanchiers: ? The chosen replacement trees have been carefully selected to ensure they remain smaller in size at maturity, mitigating the risks associated with large trees in this area. ? Biodiversity and Aesthetics: ? These flowering trees will enhance the local environment, supporting biodiversity by providing nectar and pollen for bees and other pollinators. ? They will improve the visual appeal of the area, contributing positively to the character of the landscape. 3. Commitment to Replanting and Environmental Responsibility ? One-for-One Replacement: ? For every tree felled, a new tree will be planted, ensuring no net loss to the tree population in the area. ? Sustainable Management: ? The proposed trees will require less maintenance and are more suited to the location, reducing future need for pruning or potential removal. ? Community and Environmental Considerations: ? The replacements will align with community goals of maintaining green spaces while...

St Raphaels Lodge Higher Lincombe Road Torquay TQ1 2EY
Yew (T1) - 8m height. Remove due to: complete loss of light to the living room and master bedroom, shade causing damage to the house, interfering with data line from the telegraph pole, damage to cars with shedding needles, loss of view from house, concerns over the lean of the tree towards the house. We are uncertain that the tree is covered by the area TPO. Images from 2009 show the tree to be significantly smaller. Earlier development plans of the site found on the council database from the 1980s state that none of the trees on the site appear to be protected and no plans show the tree to be mapped - info attached separately. However, due to the variable growth rate of Yew trees and the fact that there are no photographs of the site to allow us to definitively confirm the tree wasn't present in 1973, we are submitting the application as a precaution.

24 Court Road Torquay TQ2 6SE
T001 - 1x Common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) - Ash Dieback Health Class 4: 0% to 25% Poor - 1 Year - Pollard 3 limbs back to the main union with the finishing cuts being made at 9m from ground level. T001 is protected by a woodland tree preservation order: 1971.014 however, the recommendation for removal is considered good silvicultural practice due to the tree being diseased and in severe decline. It will encourage woodland regeneration making space for more resilient species, and biodiversity. The controlled removal of the tree will remove the risk of failure over the garden and fence area. There is argument to leave a standing monolith for ecological purpose, if this is the case it should not be left within falling distance of garden area to 24 Court Road. The removal of T001 will have a minimal impact on the overall woodland amenity value and will quickly be replaced with regeneration.
