17 Salem Place Exeter Devon EX4 6SL

Granted Exeter 23/0359/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

The apple tree is in the font garden of 17, Salem Place and needs pruning - because it is blocking light from the downstairs front room - it has not been pruned for a long time and it is wildly out of shape and spreading its branches too far.

As published by the council, reference 23/0359/CAT

    There are 2 tall trees next to my front garden boundary wall which need to be removed: - because the neighbour in the adjoining flat/house has complained that they block his light - and they are in danger of falling down in a storm and breaking my boundary brick built wall which would crash down into his back yard. - The 2 tall tres are also interferring with the telephone wires on an adjoining telephone post.

    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
