Proposal

T1 Sycamore: (Please see letter, unclear whether covered by TPO due to tree age/age of Order. Torbay Council to assess whether to treat as Conservation Area Notification. 1. Reduce height of tree by 40-50% (6-8m.) to create pollard (coppard) that can then be managed on a 3-5 year cycle (re-pollarding). Reason: To reduce dominance, improve form, enable use of top garden terrace and to aid future management. Also to reduce risk of damage to drystone retaining wall. 2. Shorten side growth over garden by 3.5m. back to suitable growth points. Reason: To reduce encroachment over garden. 3. Clean out stored debris at base of tree and cut epicormic growth to ground level. Reason: Aesthetic improvement and to aid visibility for future inspection. 4. Remove low branch with very limited foliage and line attached. Reason: To improve form. 5. Due to poor access, cut up arisings to be stacked in a corner of the rear garden as a habitat pile to break down naturally, with a separate stack of cord lengths of branch sections (one metre approx.) as further wildlife habitat.
