Planning application

206 High Street Honiton EX14 1AJ

Granted East Devon 21/0279/TCA Tree in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Silver Birch tree marked on Aerial View of garden, and clearly identified in the photos attached is of low amenity value and is to be removed in order to make room for replacement fruit-bearing plum and cherry trees (one of each), positioned either side of the silver birch stump. It is understood that in years past the garden to 206 High Street, along with adjoining land, formed part of an orchard - hence, presumably, the name of the small close of properties immediately to the south. An ageing plum tree, also shown in the photos, which is no longer fruit-bearing and has been pruned somewhat indiscriminately by a previous occupier of the property, stands beside the silver birch and will be removed, potentially to make way for a third new fruit tree (plum or cherry). The new trees will be purchased as potted standards from a local nursery/garden centre. Neither tree is subject to a preservation order, but are within a Conservation Area.
