Planning application

4 Hillsborough Avenue Exeter Devon EX4 6BW

Granted Exeter 21/1323/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

remove holly - The holly tree is labelled Tree 1 (T1) in the supporting document - The pittosporum tree is labelled Tree 2 (T2) in the supporting document - Holly (T1) - fell because it is blocking the back gate, and therefore rear access to the property. - A metal RSJ is being used to possibly hold up part of the tree. - A branch from the neighbouring pittosporum (T2) is growing into the holly tree, potentially making it unsafe. Request to also remove this overhanging branch.

    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
