Planning application

61 Sylvan Road Exeter EX4 6EY

Granted Exeter 25/1845/CAT Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

The tree is a large Hawthorn which leans across our fence and over our neighbours drive and roof and car. The roots are unsteady and we believe the tree poses a threat to our neighbours. We propose to takeout the leaning trunk at the shoulder, as indicated in the attached picture.

As published by the council, reference 25/1845/CAT
