9 Marlborough Avenue Torquay TQ1 1TT
T1 Yew is highly tolerant of pruning, responds well to cyclical management, and retains good vitality and crown density after reduction. A modest 1.5?m crown reduction on a 5-year cycle is therefore proportionate, sustainable, and appropriate for the long-term management of this tree in its constrained position. The tree exhibits a pronounced downslope lean, damaging the garden steps and increasing the risk of progressive deformation and further structural impact on them. A light cyclical reduction will reduce end-weight, limit further displacement, and maintain the tree in a safe and suitable condition. T2 Pine selective reduction of the lowest-order branch by approximately 3?m to reduce end-weight and manage encroachment towards neighbouring houses and gardens. No alteration to the main crown structure. The tree displays a significant downslope lean, with the lower crown targeting neighbouring houses and gardens. The lowest-order branch carries disproportionate end-weight on the tension side of the lean, increasing the risk of progressive deformation and conflict with adjacent properties. A targeted 3?m reduction of this limb will reduce loading, limit further displacement, and maintain safe clearance. The proposed work is therefore proportionate, sustainable, and appropriate for the long-term management of the tree in its constrained position.
