Proposal
G1: Common Holly, Hazel, Hawthorn, Wych Elm and Goat Willow. G2: Wych Elm, Hawthorn, Hazel, Hornbeam and Pedunculate Oak. G3: Hazle, Pedunculate Oak, Goat Willow. G4: Hazel, Goat Willow, Hawthorne. G1: Mixed species group comprising common holly, hazel, hawthorn, wych elm and goat willow. Trim back all mixed vegetation to the kerb line along approximately 50 linear meters. Crown lift two (2) no. goat willow to a height of 2.4 meters to provide suitable clearance for parked vehicles. No additional coppicing or felling is proposed within this area. G2: Mixed species group comprising wych elm, hawthorn, hazel, hornbeam and pedunculate oak. Trim back mixed vegetation to approximately 2.4m height where it is encroaching onto the carriageway to the kerb line over approximately 100 linear meters. Specimen trees will not be touched, and no additional felling or coppicing is proposed within this area. G3: Mixed species group comprising hazel, pedunculate oak and goat willow. This area is of particular concern in relation to site security. Coppice approximately 50% of the hazel to improve light penetration from existing street lighting and to enhance sightlines throughout the area. Trim back overgrown vegetation where it is encroaching onto parking spaces to the kerb line. No works are proposed to specimen trees. G4: Mixed species group comprising hazel, goat willow and hawthorn. Trim back vegetation to the kerb line to improve access to electric vehicle charging points. Remove one snapped limb from the goat willow and carry out a crown lift to approximately 2.4 metres to improve clearance. No additional coppicing or felling is proposed within this area. Necessary for public safety. Overgrown hedges and self-seeded vegetation are restricting visibility, obstructing street lighting and potentially compromising CCTV coverage.

26/1161/TPO Refused
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
