Planning application

Barnfield Hill Surgery 10 - 12 Barnfield Hill Exeter EX1 1SR

Granted Exeter 24/1252/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

There is a single Walnut Tree on the property which is listed under a TPO. The tree has dead branches at the very top of the Crown. In recent months several branches have fallen just missing property and is a risk to users of the business. With the loss of the summer leaves the dead branches are clearly visible and can be removed without causing further reduction of the Crown. Please see attached photograph and sketched plan.

As published by the council, reference 24/1252/TPO

    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
