Planning application

23 Saint Hill Close Exeter Devon EX2 9JE

Granted Exeter 20/1532/CAT Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

To remove overhanging branches of Laurel, Conifer and Laburnum back to Boundary Line for full extent of Back Boundary Fence. To remove one lowest Ash Tree Branch overhanging property severing at union where main limb splits (leaving 2 benches that overhang Neighbours property). We discussed this will entail the complete removal of 3 to 4 Conifers (as they lean entirely over your property) leaving a severed Trunk that we will then cut to Fence Height, also to complete a neat job we will need to remove branches of one Conifer back to trunk rather than boundary thereby eliminating unsightly stubs that are unlikely to regrow.

    19 Falkland Close Exeter EX4 5EZ

    Oak tree on no mans land embankment which over looks garden of 18 Falkland Close, Exeter, EX4 5EZ. It has a large branch overhanging our garden. Tree surgeon Mitchell Tree Surgery has visited site and advised it needs to be removed. He says it is a large overhanging heavy limb which could cause considerable damage. Last year a large branch from a neighbouring oak next to It came down in a storm and caused damage. Our neighbours in number 18 and ourselves are concerned about this particular branch we wish to report to be removed. The tree itself has grown to 60 foot plus range and we all feel our houses are at risk. Sketch plan attached
