Planning application
Dene Court Kahanah Care Butts Road Exeter Devon EX2 5HU
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
318- T1- Cedar- Crown raise by 3M to allow access for vehicles and ground maintenance as branches currently at head height on the grass. Remove low hanging branches that overhang the road extensively on the wall side and are rubbing against the wall and also on the BT communication line. 318- T3- Manna Ash- 1.5-2m reduction and a 20% thin. This tree has grown out to one side and is rubbing on BT lines whilst also starting to fill the neighbours gutters with leaf litter. One low hanging branch is also effecting the safety of residents as it's at head height. Customer wants the tree to be rebalanced and safety restored for residents and the BT line. 318- T4- Holly- 1.5m reduction and a 10-15% thin. Low hanging branches are encroaching head height on the public footpath and access is required underneath for grounds maintenance. 15% thin allows for a general tidy up as it's now quite dense. 318- G1- Plane- 15% thin. This tree has grown towards the light as there was previously another tree sheltering it. The sheltering tree was removed in previous years but the tree needs to be rebalanced a little. Branches have been broken off by the local bus and one long branch is threatening BT cables.

Fort Villa 1 Wonford Street Exeter EX2 5HU
Cedar T1 Specification - Reduce the top of the tree back to the previous point at approximately 17m above ground level by removing the 'dog leg' apical stem, using a 150mm maximum cut diameter. - Reduce the sides of the western, northern and eastern crown aspects by up to 2m from 5.5m to approximately 3.5m, using a 60mm maximum cut diameter Justification - There has been notable excavation undertaken within 30cm of the main stem, which includes some root severance - The greatest risk is from the tree uprooting and striking several parked cars; this risk is considered tolerable. - Without seeing the tree before the disturbance, it is difficult to form a confident opinion, on that basis intervention is merited. Holly T3 Specification - Fell Justification - The base of the northern stem is growing in contact with the pillar of the retaining wall. The wall is pushing out towards the footpath (away from the tree) and there are extensive cracks travelling along the mortar. - Reparation works do not seem merited with the tree in situ. Replacement tree - Planted on the greenspace approx. 4m to the east - 1x bare root (8-10) standard Hornbeam

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
