Planning application

14 Couper Meadows Exeter EX2 7TF

Granted Exeter 25/1747/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-Maple The client feels that the tree, although much beloved, overtime becomes a little overbearing and casts a little more shade in the garden than they are comfortable with. The tree was last pruned in 2022 and the client would like to achieve similar results as last time. Reduce via thinning height of Maple by approximately 1.75m (tree is currently approximately 16m above ground level so a finished height would aim to be approximately 14.25m above ground level) and lateral crown spread by approximately 1.25m (tree is currently approximately 14m wide so a finished width would aim to be approximately 11.5m) making cuts no greater than 50mm in diameter.

    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
