Planning application

17 Southlands Heavitree Exeter EX1 2QQ

Granted Exeter 25/1367/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

T1 Sycamore (acer pseudoplatanus) - fell to ground level. T1 is in serious decline and is subject to honey fungus (Armillaria mellea); showing clear signs of dieback throughout the canopy, decomposing wood around the base of the tree with the strong 'black bootlace veins' significantly present under the bark of the main stem and flares. T1 is approximately 18-20metre in height and is well within striking distance of the property but also neighbouring properties, garages and parked cars. Customer is very worried and is happy to replant something in its place.

    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
