Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 - Lime, re-pollard to existing pollard points. **A recurring two-year management cycle is requested to enable the tree to be re-pollarded at approximately two-year intervals, maintaining the established pollard form and avoiding the need for more severe pruning in the future.** This mature Lime tree has put a large amount of regrowth since it was last pollard in late 2024, a repeat operation is necessary to prevent the tree from becoming over-dominant in its relatively restricted location. A rolling two-year consent is requested to allow the tree to be re-pollarded on a cyclical basis. This will provide flexibility in programming the works while ensuring the tree continues to be managed in accordance with its established pollarding regime.

The process from here
This application is with East Devon for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
