Premier Inn Belgrave Road Torquay TQ2 5HE
1x Multi Stemmed Ivy-covered Torbay Palm (Cordyline australis) - Sectionally dismantle, fell, and remove to ground level using appropriate dismantling techniques to ensure the safe and controlled removal of all sections. Proffesional arboricultural justification/ Statement The Torbay Palm is in poor overall physiological and structural condition, exhibiting a poor multi-stemmed form with limited long-term amenity value. Extensive ivy growth has become established throughout the stems and crown, increasing wind loading and contributing to the tree's overall decline. The palm has also begun to shed and lose fronds on a regular basis, indicating deterioration and increasing the likelihood of falling debris within the surrounding area. Owing to its poor form, declining condition, and ongoing loss of fronds, the tree is no longer considered suitable for long-term retention as a protected feature. The proposed removal is recommended on the grounds of sound arboricultural management, reducing the risk of further frond and branch failure whilst improving the safety, appearance, and ongoing maintenance of the site. The associated removal of fallen branches and accumulated dead ivy from the ground will further enhance the condition of the area. All works will be undertaken in accordance with BS 3998:2010 ? Tree Work ? Recommendations, using sectional dismantling techniques to ensure the safe and controlled removal of the tree whilst minimising the risk of damage to surrounding vegetation and property.
