Planning application
61 Gloucester Road Exeter EX4 2EE
Works: Trees
Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.
Proposal
The tree type is a Sycamore. The tree is approximately 12/13 meters tall and approx 18 meters wide. I would like to reduce the height by about a third, and the width by approximately half the reason for the work is the tree is now very close to the house, and it is blocking alot of light. The tree also causes concern in high winds and bad weather, as it sways considerably and looks like a possible hazzard.

87 Greyfriars Road Exeter EX4 7BS
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.
