Planning application
101B Pennsylvania Road Exeter EX4 6DT
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 Lucombe Oak - Prune the lateral branches from the property to gain a 3 metre clearance (measured from the gutter) third order branches, cut size of 2-3 inches. - Prune back the lower 30% of the crown laterally facing the lawn area (West to norther west facing) by 1-2 metres. Third order branches of cut size 2-3 inches. - Crown lift over the lawn area by up to 2 metres. third order branches of 2-3 inches diameter. Reasons - Create light to the patio area and through the lower crown to the lawn, whilst having a minimal effect on the vigour, health, and form of the tree. It was noted that exudations from the lower stem of gum/black watery liquid could be a symptom of Phytophthora or acute oak decline. The upper crown has thinned, smaller leaves, and chlorosis present. Regular monitoring of this and the other two oak trees in the garden is recommended.

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
