Street Record North Hill Close Brixham

Ash T1 stands within the communal frontage of North Hill Close, near residential buildings, parking bays, and pedestrian access routes. The tree?s position creates a high-value target zone where any structural failure would directly affect dwellings and regularly used areas. Under NTSG principles, this level of occupancy significantly increases the consequence of failure. Fraxinus excelsior is now widely affected by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus across Torbay and the wider region. T1 shows declining vitality and structural deterioration consistent with early?mid stage pathogen impact, including progressive crown dieback, sparse foliage, deadwood throughout the crown, brittle branch behaviour, and reduced adaptive growth. These signs are consistent with early?mid stage Ash Dieback. These defects reduce structural reliability and increase the likelihood of partial or whole-tree failure. Given the tree?s location, foreseeable risk, and species-specific decline trajectory, pruning would not prov

3 North Hill Close Brixham TQ5 8RX

Tree Surgeon consulted: Greg Laywood, Clear View Tree and Hedge Services Ltd. Recommendation for a cyclical application to undertake cyclical crown reductions (3/5 yearly) on a Holme oak tree located within the rear garden of the property, with the height reduced to 1m below an overhead telephone cable which has been enveloped within the canopy. All as previous application ref: AT/2021/0099/TPO, approved 11th May 2021. The tree also overhangs the access road to North Fields Industrial Estate which is used by multiple companies, serviced by large lorries and delivery trucks. A reduction on the canopy width will bring the canopy within the property boundary whilst maintaining the shape and proportion of the tree. The works are required to prevent damage to the telephone cable, and to prevent damage to the tree and vehicles as the delivery vehicles access/egress the Industrial Estate . All works will be undertaken by a Tree Surgeon in conformance to BS3998 "Recommendations for Tree Work 2

Lynway Court St Marychurch Road Torquay TQ1 3JP

T003 ? Mature lime: Pollard to the main crown break, retaining the main stem and permanent primary scaffold framework. Thereafter manage as a cyclical pollard, with re-pollarding anticipated approximately every seven years. The works are requested following a ground-based assessment and subsequent climbing inspection. The aerial inspection identified multiple cavities within load-bearing primary branches supporting substantial upright stems. Three cavities were reported to extend beyond the diameter of the affected branch when investigated using an eight-inch probe. Further cavities and significant historic pruning wounds with associated decay were also recorded. The affected crown is exposed to wind and overhangs St Marychurch Road, the unsheltered Hatfield Cross bus stop and parts of Lynway Court. The inspecting arborist considered ordinary crown reduction but concluded that it would not sufficiently address the defects distributed through the primary crown. Pollarding is therefore p
