Hyperion Underhill Road Torquay TQ2 6SL

We want to remove the tree down to approximately 3m from ground level. After ongoing review its deemed necessary to dismantle and remove the tree due to its disease and no long term viability. T001 - Monterey Cypress - as in Hi-Lines report. 2021: The initial assessment noted a minor deterioration from the previous year, with the tree displaying sub-optimal vitality and crown density. This decline was accompanied by increasing levels of deadwood throughout the crown, with Old Mill Road identified as the primary high-occupancy target. 2023: Dysfunction within the crown had noticeably increased, with only approximately 50?60% of functional crown remaining. Infection by Seiridium cardinale was suspected. A large, upright, central primary limb, biased to the west, was confirmed dead and exhibited torsional splitting; this limb was somewhat sheltered by the remaining canopy. The increasing crown dysfunction was most visible over the driveway leading to Hyperion. 2025: The most recent inspection confirmed no significant change in the overall status or risk assessment of the tree. The dead primary limb was removed after the previous assessment as recommended. However, minor additional deterioration and the advancement of Seiridium cardinale symptoms were recorded, necessitating continued close monitoring. The long-term viability of this tree remains questionable and the requirement for its removal is highly likely.

The proposed works relate to the Eastern Boundary Group of 9 ? Regenerated Sycamore Stems (Acer pseudoplatanus), which have developed as multiple secondary stems from previously managed stools. The trees now form a dense boundary group and require cyclical management to maintain safe and sustainable growth within the confined location. Consent is sought to sectionally dismantle (where required), fell, and coppice the stems to approximately 1.50 metres above ground level, allowing the retained coppice stools to regenerate and produce new, vigorous replacement stems. This is considered an appropriate arboricultural management technique for this species and growth form, promoting healthier regrowth whilst retaining continued boundary screening and long-term tree cover. The proposed works are justified for the following reasons: To continue an ongoing cyclical management programme appropriate to previously regenerated sycamore stools. To reduce excessive height, weight, and leverage on elongated stems, thereby lowering the potential for future structural failure. To improve management of the boundary area and prevent further encroachment into the adjoining land. To stimulate vigorous new basal regrowth, improving the long-term condition and sustainability of the tree group. To retain the established root systems and ongoing amenity contribution of the group through regeneration, rather than complete removal. All works will be undertaken sensitively and in accordance with BS 3998:2010 ? Tree Work Recommendations, using appropriate dismantling and pruning techniques to minimise unnecessary damage and preserve the future vitality of the retained stools.

Beech T2 specifications 1) Reduce the sides of the southern, western and northwestern aspects of the crown by 2-3m with a 100mm maximum cut diameter. This northwestern crown radius will reduce from approximately 7m to 5m. The southern crown radius will reduce from approximately 7m to 5m. The western crown radius will reduce from approximately 14m to 11m. 2) Remove the lowest limb in the southern crown - approximately 200mm in diameter Beech T2 reason for works (Tree report must be read) Previous root disturbance is suspected - potentially destabilising the rooting system. The tree has a significant crown bias to the west. Pruning will reduce the loading on the root system and therefore reduce the likelihood of it uprooting. Tree stands within falling distance to parking. The lowest limb is struck by delivery vehicles, there are limited options for branch reduction. Beech T3 specifications 1) Reduce the sides of the northern, eastern and southern crown aspects by 2.5m ? use a 100mm maximum cut diameter. The crown radius will reduce from approximately 8m to 5.5m. 2) Reduce the top of the tree by 1.5m - use a 75mm maximum cut diameter. The height of the tree will reduce from approximately 19.5m to 18m. Beech T3 reason for works (Tree report must be read) The base of the main stem is decayed. Pruning will reduce bending load and torsional load on the stem base and reduce the likelihood of stem failure. The tree stands within falling distance to the neighbour's house.

19 Stoneleigh Drive Torquay TQ2 6TR

T1 - Oak: Fell to near ground level. Reasoning: The oak has previously been heavily topped, resulting in a reduced canopy consisting of mainly epicormic growth. The tree is in decline, with an estimated 30?40% of live cambium remaining. The main stem shows signs of significant decay, which compromises its structural integrity. Due to the combination of stem decay and weak regrowth, there is an increased risk of failure. Further reduction is not considered appropriate, as it would not address the existing structural issues and would likely lead to further decline.
