Planning application
1 East Grove Road Exeter Devon EX2 4LX
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 is a split-trunked conifer sited towards the tapering end of the front garden of No 1 East Grove Road. Despite some pruning over the years, it has grown to the point where its roots are damaging the retaining wall on East Grove Road (a crack is becoming evident); it is also likely to damage the wall flanking the alleyway that runs behind the gardens of East and West Grove Road. The tree does not provide visual amenity and its branches cause loss of light to neighbouring properties on West Grove. We would like to engage a professional tree surgeon to cut down and remove tree. Should permission be granted, we would replace the tree with a more easily maintained shrub or specimen tree.

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
