Craig Ilsham Marine Drive Torquay TQ1 2HT

Official description

Fell T6 Pine, 80% of the crown is dead, with very little live foliage remaining. The tree is in terminal decline and directly threatens both houses and gardens to the south, creating an unacceptable risk. Removal is required to restore a proportionate level of safety. Replacement planting: One replacement tree of the same species will be planted within the garden, providing long-term amenity at an appropriate scale. T5 Pine ? Remove only the lowest-order branches, as shown in the photographs. These are small-diameter, phototropic limbs below the main crown structure. All cuts will comply with BS 3998:2010, with the final cut diameter not exceeding one third of the parent branch or stem. This minor work maintains natural form and improves clearance and light without altering the crown. T1 Pine ? Remove only the lowest-order phototropic branches. These are small, low-value limbs whose removal is minor and does not affect crown structure. All cuts will follow BS 3998:2010, with the final cut diameter not exceeding one third of the parent branch or stem. This improves balance and light while preserving the crown.
