Planning application
5 Park Place St Leonards Exeter EX2 4LP
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
We have a single tree in the front garden of 5 Park Place which we wish to lightly prune as it has grown to contact the house. The tree isn't in leaf so hopefully the shape and reach are quite clear. There is obviously much more impact on the light in the house when it is in leaf. Reducing the tree by 50cm on the side next to the house and over the path. Not wishing to damage or stress the tree. Assuming that if we are given permission to proceed that the work would be done by specialist tree surgeons.

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
