Little Aish Aish Stoke Gabriel TQ9 6PS

Split decision West Devon 2939/25/TPO Works to a TPO Tree

Works: Trees

Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.

Proposal

G001: Mature Ash trees - Remove 2 x Ash trees Both specimens are exhibiting signs of ash dieback disease (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus), assessed as Health Class 3 (see figure 2), with a retained leaf volume of between 25% and 50%. This condition is progressive, & it is unlikely the trees will recover in the long-term (see 4.4). The westernmost tree, being multi-stemmed with three dominant stems, is showing the greatest degree of infection and corresponding crown loss G004: Sycamore – 2 x trees. Dismantle & fell to near ground level and replant with x 2 Pedunculate oak trees Both trees are evidently in sever decline, with an extensive amount of ivy and Clematis vitalba throughout the canopy & main stem

    T1: Ash – Pollard at approximately 5 metres from ground level to improve form and reduce risk of failure. T2: Sycamore – Crown lift to 5 metres on South (house) side by removing lowest branch of 250mm diameter. Also remove branch above of 75mm diameter and carry out peripheral crown reduction house side by 3 metres to re-shape the tree and reduce over dominance in relation to the property. T3: Ash – Reduce previously cut North stem by 1 metre to above lowest re-growth at approx. 7 metres height from base level. Reduce South Stem to 7 metres height to match North stem and to form high pollard. Remove damaged North West stem at base to enable re-growth and for structural reasons to address risk of failure, improve form and create a high pollard.
