Planning application

66 Magdalen Road Exeter EX2 4TN

Granted Exeter 24/0200/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

Quercus ilex - in front driveway. I would like to arrange for a tree surgeon to reduce the size by 25%. It over hangs the public highway (Magdalen Road), it's planted up against a grade 2 listed wall and it's approx 5 meters from our house (66 Magdalen Road). The tree is in good health, however it's large and hasn't been pruned for a couple of years. It's also been planted in a raised planting area so my concerns are that if left at this size it may be hazardous during a storm and could cause a lot of damage. Laurus nobilis - in back garden. I would like this also reducing by 25%. It's also planted in a raised planing area, and up against a grade 2 listed wall. It's very large and over hangs our south facing lawn.

    An old quince tree snapped at the base in recent storms and keeled over. (It produced its last single fruit five years ago and I have a seed-propagated sapling growing in the garden). Sadly, it has had its day and it needs to be cut down. I am hoping to preserve shoots at the base for potential new growth.

    T2 Fig Tree ? removal of tree. This tree grows right up against a grade two listed cob party wall which party wall neighbours recently had to be repaired prior to us moving into our house on 13th November. This tree had been left to grow uncontrolled over a number of years by the previous owners and is out of shape and proportion to its location. We are open to advice on appropriate replanting due to the proximity of T1 TPO 331 Holm Bush. T3 Bay Tree ? Crown reduction and crown lifting to maintain the historic shape of the tree in proportion to its location and allow light and space for the accompanying garden. It is proposed to reduce the vertical growth of the tree as viewed in the accompanying picture. A height reduction of 6-8 feet and a crown lifting of 4 feet.

    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
