Heanton Court Hunsdon Road Torquay TQ1 1QB

Conservation area ref 1972.014 Tree Reference: T1 Magnolia. Proposed Work: Fell, dismantle, and completely remove. Justification Reasons: Proximity: The trunk is growing directly against the external wall of the two-storey house. Light Nuisance: The 5 metre tall and 3 metre canopy spread covers windows and severely restricts natural light. Structural Risk: The root system is right up against the property foundations, creating an immediate concern for structural damage. 10/09/26 Amendment to address further information required. The tree is believed to be no older than 40 years old and therefore not subject to any constraints of the 1972 Tree preservation order. There is no evidence of any previous pruning that may have effected the size of the trunk or rate of growth and no previous applications for work to be carried out on the tree on the planning system.
