Planning application

Chestnut Cottage The Grove Exeter EX4 9HT

Granted Exeter 24/0097/TPO Works to Protected Trees (TPO)

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 Oak. reduce crown by 3m all round which is roughly 20%. The crown has a bias to the south extending to within a meter of the house causing excessive shading and, as can be seen from the photo, causing the degradation of the lawn. To the north the crown extends over the boundary to the neighbouring house causing excessive shading there too. Reducing only those offending branches will leave the tree looking, unsightly and unbalanced which is why I think a full crown reduction will leave the tree in a better shape and will preserve its integrity . T2 Row of Ash and Sycamore along the eastern boundary. remove lowest branches to open up the view. According to my client these trees have grown into a large green oppressive wall . Removing the lowest branches to the line shown in the photo would alleviate the feeling of being closed in while at the same time leaving the collective crown undisturbed. T3 Leyllandi , fell. this conifer was trimmed as a ball shaped shrub in the past but has now grown into a dark mess. Removing it will give the much prettier Golden Monterey a better chance to thrive. T4 Oak . fell. this stunted tree is the smallest in a cluster of three trees growing a few feet to the east of T1. it is suppressed by the two more vigorous Oaks beside 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.
