T1 - OakReason for works: T1 stands adjacent to a telecommunications pole in a restricted growing space and is overshadowed by larger neighbouring trees. Competition for light appears to have influenced its asymmetrical crown development. Branches extend towards and amongst the overhead BT telecommunications lines. Selective pruning is proposed to address this conflict and reduce the likelihood of further interference.Proposed works: Selectively shorten branches affecting the overhead BT telecommunications lines by approximately 1-1.5 metres, measured from the existing branch tips, pruning back to suitable lateral branches. Restrict pruning to the affected branches, retaining sufficient live foliage and preserving the tree's existing crown character as far as practicable. Undertake works in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree work - Recommendations.

T1 Magnolia:Crown reduce the height and lateral spread by approximately 1 - 1.5m metres. Spread and height is currently 5m. Finished height and width will be approx 4m. Pruning branch tips back to suitable secondary growth points to retain a natural crown outline. Works to achieve a balanced canopy with no more than one-third of foliage removed in accordance with BS 3998:2010.These works are requested due to tree touching building and encroaching onto main entrance into church.Public footpath:T2 Plum: Fell 1x leaning stem to regain footpath width.Very small stem, growing directly into busy public footpath.All pruning cuts to be made at suitable growth points.All works carried out to BS 3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations.Remove all cut material from site & return to a Teign Trees depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean & tidy.

T1 Apple: 1-1.5m reduction retaining the structural framework of the tree, whilst creating a symmetric crown shape. The centre of the crown to be opened up by thinning secondary and tertiary limbs to promote fruit production. The heavily leaning Apple tree has a large cavity at the base with extensive decay. These reduction and thinning works will decrease the weight, sail and promote the long term vitality and amenity value of the tree.

T1 Horse Chestnut - To prune back remove large primary stem showing significant signs of deterioration with a decline in vitality, bark/cambial die back and dead wood, back to main union divide.Reason: The horse chestnut is in a visible state of decline and exhibits significant physiological and structural defects, including extensive cambial dieback, visible stem cankers, and evidence of internal decay within the stem being removed. The lose of leaf within the crown compared to adjacent stem potentially indicates a progressive deterioration of the tree's vascular and structural integrity, reducing its ability to compartmentalise the main stem deadwood/decay wounds potentially affecting the stems stability. The presence of decay within the stem to be removed, combined with active canker lesions and declining vitality, increases the risk of stem failure and branch loss on the southern side of the tree. Given the extent of the defects and the potential risk posed to home owner and property, removal of the stem identified is considered both valid and the most appropriate management option.

T1 MimosaProposed works: FellMature Mimosa situated within a confined residential garden in a Conservation Area, immediately adjacent to a masonry boundary wall and nearby buildings.The presence of Ganoderma fruiting bodies at the base of the tree indicates a potential wood-decay infection.The tree also exhibits an irregular crown with apparent dieback and is growing within a severely restricted environment. Its proximity to residential property, garden areas and the public highway increases the potential consequences of structural failure.Felling is proposed on the grounds of suspected basal decay, apparent crown deterioration and the tree's restricted location.

T1 - Western Red CedarProposed works: Fell Reason for worksT1 is an established Western red cedar growing in exceptionally close proximity to an existing stone boundary wall. Photographic evidence indicates that the lower stem is in direct contact with the masonry, creating a physical conflict between the tree and the structure.Continued radial growth of the stem could exert further pressure on the wall, resulting in progressive displacement and deterioration of the masonry. The close relationship between the stem and the wall also restricts access for inspection, maintenance and necessary repairs.The tree's position presents a long-term management conflict. Crown reduction would not resolve the fundamental issue at the base of the tree, as it would not prevent continued radial stem growth. Felling is recommended as a permanent way to resolve the physical conflict between the tree and the boundary wall, prevent further interference from stem growth, and facilitate any necessary structural repairs.This recommendation is based primarily on the tree's unsuitable position relative to the existing structure and the limited practical options for a sustainable long-term solution.Based on its apparent size and maturity, it is possible that the tree was planted after the original Tree Preservation Order (TPO) was established.
