Planning application

3 Lower Kings Avenue Exeter Devon EX4 6JT

Granted Exeter 23/0096/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

Apple Tree (Marked X) on sketch. Proposal is to fell the tree because it has a disease that is significantly damaging the bark and has now become dangerous: One third of the tree fell down in December. One third is still upright but dead (with no bark present) The remaining third is in poor condition. Advice from my RHS-qualified gardener has been to fell the tree because it cannot be saved. I propose to plant a replacement fruit tree in a nearby location within the garden.

    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
