Planning application
Compass House 52 Magdalen Road Exeter EX2 4TL
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T001 Monterey cypress - Remove lowest primary NE over carpark and reduce 2nd lowest primary NE by 3m due to anticipated increased exposure. Veteran Monterey Cypress with a TPO protection. Vigour and health of the tree is good. One branch overhanging car park and road is overextended, and stress cracks are apparent due to the weight of the branch. Many branches recommended for removal remain since last inspection. Large old tear out wound on stem, roadside; acute, bark-included unions frequent; axial crack in lowest primary, east over carpark, failure foreseeable, removal required; gap in crown above 2nd lowest primary east; risk: not tolerable
