Planning application

Royal Devon And Exeter Hospital Barrack Road Exeter EX2 5DW

Granted Exeter 23/1097/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

T165 - Monterey Pine Suggested Works: Reduce southern crown aspect over car park by approximately 3 metres, cutting back to appropriate growth points. Knock out any loose pine cones over car park. Remove broken limb. Rationale: The tree?s crown extends over the relatively newly installed parking area to the south. Monterey Pines can be prone to the shedding of limbs from older specimens during severe weather conditions. The species also hosts particularly large cones which, although generally remaining affixed to their parent branches for many years, will easily damage a car roof when they do fall.

    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
