Planning application
22 North Avenue Exeter EX1 2DU
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
1. Apple tree in back garden (subject of previous application). Proposed Works: pruning tree back to same shape and size as it was in 2020 (after previously permitted works were carried out). Reason: After pruning in 2020 the tree surgeon recommended pruning it at least every 3 years as the tree has an extensive canopy and the weight of branches, leaves and fruit has adversely affected the trunk (the trunk already has hole in it, running right through the trunk). It is an elderly, but very productive, tree which we would like to preserve if possible 2. Pittisporum tree in front garden adjoining pavement (the only tree in the front garden). Proposed Works: reducing height and spread of ornamental tree by about one-third, Reason: the pittisporum tree has grown so big that in the recent high winds it was dangerously close to some overhead telephone wires serving our house and our neighbours' house. We are concerned that if it touches the wires it could interfere with telephone reception.

Tree is a leylandii in the extreme south east corner of the garden at 10 North Avenue. The garden soil level at the tree root is 4ft above the soil level in the garden of 17 South Avenue, and 3ft above the level of the garden in 12 North Avenue. The tree is over 15m tall and the root ball is only supported on the south and east aspects by single skin brick walls which have no foundations. These are failing and the tree is in a dangerous position and could fall at any time. The plan is to completely fell the tree and remove it.

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.
