Planning application

61 Gloucester Road Exeter EX4 2EE

Split decision Exeter 23/1344/TPO Works to Protected Trees (TPO)

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.

As published by the council, reference 23/1344/TPO

    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
