Planning application
Exwick House Exwick Court Exeter EX2 4RE
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Single large Magnolia tree to the left of main building (when facing the front aspect of the property), tree is situated approximately ten feet from the property in a raised bed area. This tree has branches and foliage which over hang the neighbouring property, the intention is to remove all overhang over neighbouring property boundary, severing branches wherever possible at a suitable fork up to 3m inside Exwick house boundary to ensure proper pruning practice. This level of pruning will remove the need for future works for approximately 5 years. The anticipated removal will be less than 10% of the trees spread on a single side. Work to be carried out by tree care professionals who are suitable qualified and will seek to climb the tree to complete the work safely with due consideration to Health and safety guidelines. Within the attached sketch plan the single tree subject of this application is highlighted as ?Tree 1?.
