Planning application
Broad Oak Lodge Ford Lane West Hill Devon EX11 1XE
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1, Scotts pine : remove, due to history of limb failure and infection from Neolentinus lepideous fungus which can be seen throughout the upper canopy (see photos); the recent limb failure (Photo 1) has left a deep tear wound in the main stem approximately half way up which could compromise structural integrity in the future.
