Planning application

157 Pennsylvania Road Exeter Devon EX4 5DF

Granted Exeter 21/0930/TPO Works to Protected Trees (TPO)

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Identified as T1 on the sketch plan. It is an English Oak TPO no.338. The tree is healthy but has developed the "stag's head" common these days on many oaks which in my opinion is down to our changing climate though can also be in part due to stress around root area. Anyway, it has developed dead wood predominantly in the center at the top of the crown and it is this bear wood that we wish to remove for safety reasons aswell as improving the appearance. The largest of these is maximum 3 metres long and approximately 6 inches diameter where it would be removed. There are 5 other smaller dead branches near to this (to the side and below) that are clear to see which we would also like to remove.
