Planning application

Laurel Cottage Elmside Exeter EX4 6LN

Granted Exeter 23/1518/CAT Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1-Robinia The northern aspect of the tree appears to be in decline and the area beneath the clients aspect of the crown is a relatively high use area so some risk management would be prudent. Remove moribund stem as outlined in 541KEAROB1 & 541KEAROB2 using a 'natural fracture pruning cut' approximately 0.5m outboard of the main stem to avoid inviting pathogens/decay into the main stem. Remove major deadwood approximately 50mm and greater above clients garden area. It is worth noting that we will also be supplying and laying approximately 2m2 of well composted mulch to the ground beneath the tree with the aim of improving the trees vitality.

    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
