    Recent emergency approved felling of two older Lime trees in next door neighbour's garden precipitated a check on our own Lime Tree sic.Precautionary Work is requested on Trunk 2 of a large mature Lime Tree in south part of our property. Sketch Plan Lime Tree position refers .The Lime tree has 4 Trunks from ground level - numbering from left to right in provided Photo Lime Tree 1 of 4Trunk 2.Photo Lime Tree 2 of 4 shows vis discoloration separation of Trunk 2 from Trunk 3. Separation >=12cm August 2026. No previous measurement.Photo Lime Tree 3 of 4 shows southern inclination of Trunk 2 and extended southern branch growth giving increasing weight leverage/imbalance.Photo Lime Tree 4 of 4 shows extent of recent years Beefsteak fungus at base of Trunk 2 - width c 25cms August 2026.Condition of Lime Tree discussed on site with Jamie, Trees in Need who has managed bi-annually maintenance on our trees for c 20 years.Fungal infection currently appears to be on Trunk 2 base but Trunk 2 is closely twinned with Trunk 3 at this level. Trunk 3 is however largely vertical and foliage more balanced and therefore less at longer term risk.So Imminent/emergency danger of Trunk 2 failure not likely but following precautionary action suggestedRequested permission for following Action for Trunk 2. Remove all top growth c 6/7 meter level as show in Photo Lime Tree 3 where extended South lateral growth is prominent to provide a largely vertical Trunk with reduced weight /leverage . Continue to monitor Trunk 2 & 3 separation and Fungal growth.

    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 provide meaningful long-term mitigation. Removal is the only proportionate intervention. A suitable replacement (e.g., Sorbus aria or Carpinus betulus) can be planted within the frontage to maintain canopy continuity.

    All trees 1-6 to be removed completely, most are not identifiable as they are completely dead. All trees below an approximate height of twelve meters, and we wish to remove them as they are dead. We also want to remove the dead foliage on the slope to the side of the property, and cut back growth to a manageable condition for future maintenance.I have not been able to find specific tree preservation numbers for the trees 1-6 but I understand we are located in a conservation area and have therefor submitted this application.
