Planning application

29 The Strand Topsham Exeter Devon EX3 0AX

Granted Exeter 21/1320/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

Single mature oak tree - minor pruning to reduce the tree by a maximum of 2m, ensuring that no pruning cuts exceed 75cm in diameter, in order that we can maintain a healthy, safe tree that does not impair the amenity of the gardens over which it spans. As previously stated, the works would be a sympathetic prune carried out by a qualified arborist appointed from a list of approved contractors recommended by the Arboriculture Association.

As published by the council, reference 21/1320/CAT

    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
