Longdon Higher Erith Road Torquay TQ1 2NH
T1 Eucalyptus Subject to submitting a new TPO application, the following works would be acceptable in principle. These would remove or reduce a small number of primary branches to increase the separation between the crown and the building beyond the 2- 3 m clearance currently provided. Reduce the lowest primary branch at approx. 5 m above ground level, extending east from 8m to 5m. Remove three primary branches extending south-east to east at approx. 7, 8 & 9m above ground level. Deadwood may be removed throughout the crown, with consent from the council being required.

T1 Monterey cypress: Selectively prune branches placing tension on the overhead telecommunications cable, cutting back to suitable lateral growth points and providing approximately 1 m clearance. Crown lift the road-facing crown to provide 5.2 m vertical clearance above the carriageway, measured from the road surface to the lowest remaining branch or foliage. Crown lifting should preferentially involve the shortening or removal of secondary branches. All pruning shall comply with BS 3998:2010. T2 Beech: Selectively prune branches contacting and placing tension on the overhead telecommunications cable, cutting back to suitable lateral growth points and providing approximately 1 m clearance. Avoid excessive crown thinning, indiscriminate reduction and unnecessary large-diameter pruning wounds. Retain the tree?s natural crown form. All pruning shall comply with BS 3998:2010. T3, T4 and T5 Pines: Fell to ground level. Entirely dead. Dead crown, no live foliage and clear evidence of total physiological failure. Retain the stumps. No stump grinding, as this would risk damaging the roots of neighbouring Scots Pines of the same species.

Flat 1 Kingsbridge Greenway Road Torquay TQ1 4NJ
T001 - Mature Beech (Fagus sylvatica) Observations: Mature beech with a substantial fungal fruiting body present at the base of the stem, visually consistent with Ganoderma spp. Sounding of the lower stem with a sounding mallet produced a pronounced hollow response extending from the base to approximately 2 m above ground level on the road-facing side, indicating potentially significant internal dysfunction and decay within the lower main stem. The defect is located within the tree?s primary load-bearing region, where the main stem transfers crown loading into the root system. Decay or loss of sound wood in this area is therefore considered structurally significant. The full extent of internal decay and remaining residual wall thickness could not be quantified through ground-based inspection alone. The tree supports a large mature crown and is located immediately adjacent to a public highway, with pedestrians, moving and parked vehicles, and nearby residential properties within the potential failure zone. Recommendation: Dismantle T001 to near ground level. The recommendation is based on the presence of basal fungal decay, the pronounced hollow response extending approximately 2 m up the lower stem, and the location of the defect within the principal load-bearing region of the tree. These findings materially reduce confidence in the tree's long-term structural reliability. Although the tree provides significant local amenity value within the Conservation Area, this is considered outweighed by the extent and structural significance of the identified defects and the potential consequences of whole-tree or basal failure onto the adjacent highway and surrounding targets.

Heanton Court Hunsdon Road Torquay TQ1 1QB
Conservation area ref 1972.014 Tree Reference: T1 Magnolia. Proposed Work: Fell, dismantle, and completely remove. Justification Reasons: Proximity: The trunk is growing directly against the external wall of the two-storey house. Light Nuisance: The 5 metre tall and 3 metre canopy spread covers windows and severely restricts natural light. Structural Risk: The root system is right up against the property foundations, creating an immediate concern for structural damage. 10/09/26 Amendment to address further information required. The tree is believed to be no older than 40 years old and therefore not subject to any constraints of the 1972 Tree preservation order. There is no evidence of any previous pruning that may have effected the size of the trunk or rate of growth and no previous applications for work to be carried out on the tree on the planning system.

Lower Ground Floor Flat Lisburne House Lower Woodfield Road Torquay TQ1 2JY
T1 - Sycamore: The tree has a narrow fork with included bark between the main stems. Branches within the crown show bark stripping consistent with squirrel damage, leaving areas of exposed wood. Deadwood is also lodged within the crown. Felling is proposed due to concerns about the structural condition of the main fork and damaged branches, taking into account the tree's position beside the garden access steps and the potential consequences of falling material for people using this area. The tree is not visible from public viewpoints. T2 - Sycamore: The tree occupies a restricted rooting area adjacent to the wall. Its size and position raise concerns about its anchorage and the potential for whole-tree overturning. Failure of the root plate could displace the adjoining masonry and potentially cause the wall to collapse. Felling is proposed to address these concerns. The tree is not visible from public viewpoints. A Tree Preservation Order was made in 1973. The current dimensions of T1 and T2 suggest they became established after that date; these trees proposed for felling can be considered under a Section 211 conservation-area notification.

Aveland Court Aveland Road Torquay TQ1 3PT
Consent was granted under application reference AT/2023/0123; however, the approved tree works were not undertaken. A new application is therefore being submitted. T1 ? Lime: Pollard to the specified height to manage the risk associated with extensive decay and hollowing within the lower stem. Mallet sounding indicates that the hollow extends approximately 750 mm above the uppermost visible cavity. T2 ? Western red cedar: Fell to ground level due to its poor physiological and structural condition following historically inappropriate and excessively severe pruning. The previous pruning does not accord with current good arboricultural practice as set out in BS 3998:2010 and has left the tree with limited potential for satisfactory long-term retention. The tree has limited visibility from public vantage points, and its removal would therefore have little effect on the area's wider visual amenity. T3 ? Oak: Reduce the crown to suitable growth points near the former pollard points, retaining adequate live growth wherever practicable. The work is required to reduce crown dimensions and associated mechanical loading because the tree occupies a confined position immediately adjacent to a boundary wall. The crown is markedly asymmetrical due to suppression and shading from taller neighbouring trees.

2 Ben Venue Close Torquay TQ1 1RX
T001 - Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum): Reduce the crown by up to 2 m in height and up to 2 m radially, to leave an approximate post-work crown radius of 5.5 m and an approximate overall crown spread of 11 m. Retain a balanced crown form and undertake all pruning to suitable growth points in accordance with BS 3998:2010. T002 - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus): Reduce the crown height by up to 2 m, retaining the existing approximate radial crown spread of 7 m and approximate overall crown spread of 14 m. Minor lateral balancing cuts may be undertaken only where necessary to achieve a balanced and proportionate crown form. Undertake all pruning to suitable growth points in accordance with BS 3998:2010. The works are being undertaken as part of informed, proportionate crown management in line with the survey recommendations to manage canopies that have been previously reduced. Details contained within the attached schedules and report.

Kismet Castle Gardens Castle Road Torquay TQ1 3BQ
T1 - Dead tree in the rear garden, species unknown. The tree is located in the garden of KISMET, close to the boundary with the neighbouring property. It is the dead tree shown in the attached photographs. Proposed works: Fell/remove T1 to ground level. Reason for works: The tree appears to be dead and is close to the neighbouring property/boundary. Removal is proposed because of concern that the tree may collapse and cause property damage or a safety risk.
