Planning application

Compass House 52 Magdalen Road Exeter EX2 4TL

Granted Exeter 25/1767/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

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

    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
