Planning application

1 Culverland Close Exeter EX4 6HR

Granted Exeter 25/1065/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 - Holm Oak tree: Prune back the lateral growth only that overhangs the rear garden of No 2 Culverland close. This will be between 0.75-1 metre in length, and will consist of re-growth only (from the pruning cuts made the last time the tree was pruned) .Diameter cuts no greater than 3 cm. - The lowest branch arising from the main stem at approx. 5 metres above ground level, (and is closest to the top of the bowling club roof), will be pruned back to the previous growth points. this will remove again 0.75-1metre of regrowth, with 3 cm diameter cuts. Reasons: The Neighbours at No. 2 would like to maximise the light entering their back garden. Removing any more than the re-growth will severely affect the form, health and vigour of the tree. So I have recommended here to prune back to the growth points, minimising the cut size, and so decreasing the risk of infection.

    T1 - Holm Oak 1) Lowest primary branch, with predominantly lateral extension growing towards the house (refer to photo) - Prune back the lateral extension by up to 15%, cut size on tertiary growth up to 75mm. Reasons: To improve light conditions within the house, whilst carrying out the minimum of pruning, and preventing a negative impact on the vigour and health of the tree. 2) Twin forked lateral branches (refer to photo) growing over the neighbours property: Prune back the lateral extension by up to 15%, or the previous growth points (whichever is a lesser amount to remove), cut size on tertiary growth up to 75mm. Reasons: To improve light conditions to the neighbours garden, whilst carrying out the minimum of pruning, and preventing a negative impact on the vigour and health of the tree. This branch has been pruned within the last 5 years, so the growth removed will be fairly minimal. 3) Lowest primary branch growing over the bowling club (refer to photo): Crown lift by 1 metre, cut size on tertiary growth up to 75mm. Reasons: To increase light access to the garden through the bottom of the canopy.

    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
