Silverdale Higher Warberry Road Torquay TQ1 1RY
Proposal
We are seeking to remove a singlular Yew tree and replace it with a tree which does not shed poisonous berries to reduce the threat the life of our pets as well as the children who attend the school next door. The tree is not subject to an individual TPO but it is in a tree conservation area, which is something we wish to enhance through the plans we have for enhancing the entire garden.
