    Decision due ~2 Dec

    The Lime tree in question is directly opposite the property and overhangs the road and roof. It grows on the bank owned by Chagford house. We wish to reduce the lateral branches to reduce the risk of failure over the house. (see photos) This spec would be carried out to bs3998 and need traffic control. There is also some crownlifting and coppicing we would like to do on the bank from some smaller lime trees and Laurel shrubs The low hanging branches of the main Lime tree also need crown lifting or pruning off of the property. The amount of crownlifiting and coppicing would span the around 3 meters past the building itself. The crownlifting and coppicing needs doing as it is below the spec of 5.5 meters over the highway. It would also benefit the property owner with as it would increase the light getting into the property.
