Planning application

Westover Little Johns Cross Hill Exeter Devon EX2 9PJ

Granted Exeter 21/0869/CAT Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

1 Cherry Tree that has shown little leaf production this year and has been oozing sap in large quantities (possible gummosis) and dropping dead branches - also many smaller trees in area that have died back and show no sign of life We are concerned that the cherry tree will continue to drop branches causing a hazard for locals and that it is no longer stable - we wish to remove this tree We would aim to replace this tree with something similar but as yet have not decided on type The other dead trees in the area would be removed or cut back and replaced with similar or hedging depending on location
