Planning application
9 Princes Street South Exeter EX2 9AW
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 Magnolia located in front garden, dismantle and remove including stump grinding, reasons as follows:- i) The tree has outgrown our small urban front garden ii) It is in great danger of damaging the garden walls iii) To allow more light to reach the front of our neighbour's house at 5, Princes Street South. Even though the tree was pruned severely three years ago, it has made little difference the the lack of light for that property. iv) The tree sheds leaves in abundance, with negligable blossom over the last three years. v) Leaf litter when wet is slippery and therefore dangerous to pedestrians, both on Princes Street South and in the adjacent private drive. It also has caused a large build up of moss on that same drive, causing a sever slip hazard for everyone entering that property. vi) It places in jeopardy the wires from the adjacent telecom pole to properties in the street in case of heavy winds. It also means that Outreach engineers have to use a cherry picker to reach the wires for repairs or upgrades. It causes them great aggravation.

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
