Planning application

Parkfield House Holman Way Topsham EX3 0EN

Withdrawn Exeter 24/0154/CAT Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.

Proposal

We would like to reduce the crown of our Copper Beach (see image 001 & 002) by up-to 2m. The work is mainly required on new growth branches that will be overhanging a plot of land that we have recently sold where at building works will be taking place (see red boundary on image 003) and the reduction will be balanced around tree to maintain its shape. Work will be undertaken by our regular tree surgeon Exe Trees. They have surveyed the tree in question Building work starts on the plot of land approx May this year; we would like to do this work in advance of that.

    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
