  Section 211 notice: proposed works to trees in a conservation area Please accept this as notice under section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 of the following proposed works to two trees at the above address. T1 and T2 are identified on the attached site plan. T1 - mature lime Proposed work: Dismantle to ground level. Ganoderma fruiting bodies have been observed around all sides of the base. On sounding, the lower stem produced a hollow response up to approximately 2.5 metres above ground level. The tree stands adjacent to a frequently used driveway that is also used by third parties. These observations and the exposure of driveway users are the reasons for the proposed removal. T2 - mature beech Proposed work: Reduce to standing deadwood as a habitat monolith approximately 8 metres high, removing the crown and lateral branches. Significant fungal fruiting bodies, identified as Meripilus giganteus, have been observed around the base. This beech shares a rooting system with a companion beech that has previously failed. Potential targets include telephone wires, a driveway and a frequently used garden. The highway may also be within the trees fall zone, depending on the direction of failure. The proposed work would remove the crown while retaining standing deadwood for habitat. The condition of the base and root system, and the stability of the proposed 8 metre retained stem, will be assessed before work proceeds. Please acknowledge receipt, confirm whether either tree is already subject to a Tree Preservation Order, and advise whether the council wishes to inspect them. Given the occupied targets and observed defects, we would welcome an early written response if the council does not intend to make a TPO.

  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
