1 Paternoster Row Ottery St Mary EX11 1DP
93% historically approved · decision due ~3 Aug
T1: Oak - crown lift to achieve a clearance of 4m from ground level via removal of the lowest second and third order branches. Making target pruning cuts of up to 70mm diameter. To increase light penetration and airflow beneath the canopy, improving growing conditions for the established shrub and planting below, whilst retaining the trees overall canopy and amenity value. Also, to allow pedestrian access under canopy without obstruction. T2: Oak - crown lift to achieve a clearance of approx 5.5m above ground level via removal of 5x lowest secondary branches. Making target pruning cuts of up to 80mm diameter. To increase light penetration and airflow beneath the canopy, improving growing conditions for the established shrub and planting below, whilst retaining the trees overall canopy and amenity value. Also, to allow pedestrian access under canopy without obstruction. T3: Norway Maple (Crimson King) - dismantle to ground level. This tree is suppressed by the adjacent Beech and Oak (larger established canopy trees) limiting it's future growth potential. Removal would reduce competition for light, moisture and nutrients, allowing the larger Beech and Oak to continue developing while improving the overall structure of the tree group. T4: Beech - crown lift to achieve a clearance of 5.5m from ground level via removal of 5x lowest branches, making target pruning cuts of up to 80mm diameter. To increase light penetration and airflow beneath the canopy, to provide appropriate clearance from the adjacent BT line and nearby summerhouse, reducing the likelihood of branch contact whilst retaining the trees overall canopy, health and amenity value. T5: Aspen - remove the 3 lowest branches on the northern aspect, making target pruning cuts of up to 75mm diameter. To provide appropriate clearance to the adjacent BT overhead line, reducing the likelihood of branch contact whilst retaining the trees overall canopy, health and amenity value.
