Planning application

Latchetts Deepdene Park Exeter Devon EX2 4PH

Granted Exeter 23/0235/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

There are two trees that need attention: Tree [1] is deciduous magnolia. Tree [2] is a laurel tree What we wish to do: Tree [1] is touching the roof of the house and needs cutting back. Dartmoor tree surgeons have suggested a 'partial crown reduction'. We are looking to remove branches which overhand the roof of the bungalow (the tree's south side of it's canopy) and bang into the roof. Tree [2] is encroaching on tree [1]'s space and is dominating it. We would like to cut a section of this back so that tree [1] has more space / light.

    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
