Planning application
The Old Vicarage Branscombe Seaton EX12 3DW
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1- Ash: fell to ground level due to significant signs of basal decay. The extent of decay is considered likely to have compromised the structural integrity and long-term retention potential of the tree, presenting an increased risk of stem or root plate failure. Removal is proposed on the grounds of safety.

Greencroft House Sidmouth Road Colyton EX24 6NP
T1: Cypress - removal. Removal of t1 due to its proximity to client owned and neighbouring structures and primarily its close proximity to the dividing wall. T1 will begin to cause damage to the wall and neighbouring garage immediately behind, with no options to mitigate this and retain the tree, as well as being an inappropriate species of tree with very limited pruning options in an inappropriate location, therefore removal is required. Client is planting four replacement trees this planting season consisting of Hawthorn, Cherry and Rowan.
