Hi House Maudlin Road Totnes TQ9 5TG

Awaiting decision South Hams 2666/26/TPO Works to a TPO Tree

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

TPO 280; T1: Sycamore - Crown height reduction by 6m removing the dead 3rd-order limbs which will start to fail in windy weather and keeping the shape of the current canopy at a reduced scale. It is showing complete defoliation as a result of this summer's drought; and a lower branch broken off proved to be dead and dry; the main stem is still alive with live cambium.

As published by the council, reference 2666/26/TPO
