Notes	In the interests of preserving the visual amenity of the trees and protecting their contribution to the character of the local and wider landscape area given the change of ownership from the Local Authority to private ownership. The trees arise from a prominent and highly visible rocky knoll and quarry cutting bounding the A379 (Dartmouth Road) which confers high public visual amenity benefits to both residents to elevated land to the West and multiple users of the highway. ULPA review undertaken noted the site to be a local landmark with a strong sense of place with panoramic views across the bay (therefore reciprocal). Change of ownership from Authority control bears potential for reduction in the element of these contributions made by the varied tree species.	Facts
