Planning application

4 The Poplars Exeter EX4 9HH

Granted Exeter 23/1035/TPO Works to Protected Trees (TPO)

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

TPO map 489 T4 and T2 require attention T4 is at the entrance of the property and over time 1 limb has developed and spread over the entrance and driveway causing restricted access to vehicles and possible head injury and eye sight due to the height. In 3 places foliage is less than 1.8m meters from the ground and the limb itself is restricting access to some vehicles. We are seeking to remove 1 limb to alleviate the issues and achieve sufficient clearance to the property. T2 is 2 thirds of the way along the property and like T4 1 limb has grown and is now hitting the garage/garden room and causing restricted pedestrian access to the room and garden and danger to people walking around the area. Only last week in the high winds I came out of the doorway to be hit in the face by a branch as a gust of wind swayed the limb into the steps. We are seeking to remove 1 limb to stop the risk of injury and further damage to the building. I will attach photos to the application if possible to show this. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.

    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
