RefusedAT/2023/0049Submitted 3 years agoTree works

Lydford House Barcombe Heights Paignton TQ3 1PU

T0068- Turkey Oak- the tree has not been managed in previous years and very minimal pruning has been carried out this leaving the tree with a very large canopy circumference in a small area causing an issue for the residents and the elderly visitors of this property. The tree dominates the garden and driveway and dosent leave much room free. I am applying to Crown reduce by 2 meters over the house laterally and reduce the opposing side by up to 3 meters reducing the tree in height by 1.5m , these works are minimal and will have very little detrimental affects on the trees health and will also have minimal impacts on the trees value within the overall landscape. These works are crucial for the property owner and carrying out these works will provide the home owner and his with a tremendous gain and will allow them to use their garden and driveway much more proactively. please see my survey for further evidence and reasons.
