Newcourt House Old Rydon Lane Topsham Exeter EX2 7JU

Granted Exeter 23/1260/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

T1 ? Monterey Cypress. Reduce south eastern aspect overhanging 1 Regency Drive by up to 2m, to appropriate growth points. Tip prune sides to shape accordingly. Maximum diameter of cut 75mm. Reason for works: A recent branch failure injured the tenant's dog and the works are to reduce the chance of further failure. The tree is showing signs of the infection Coryneum Canker and it is expected to decline further with more dead and dangerous limbs to become prevalent.

    T1 - Sessile Oak- Remove to Ground level - Removal of the heavily suppressed sessile oak with the bark-included junction is advised to eliminate the risk associated with that structurally weak junction, reduce intra-group competition and improve spacing within the group, which will support the long-term condition of the remaining trees and help keep risk within broadly acceptable levels. T2 - Monterey Pine - It is recommended that the leaning branch from the Monterey pine that extends above the neighbouring garden is pruned back to remove the over-extended section over the adjoining property and reduce the lever arm acting on the branch union, thereby lowering the risk of branch failure into the neighbouring garden while maintaining a balanced crown where practicable this is approximately 1.5 metres in length.
