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.

    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.
