Proposal
G2A - TPO number G7 Oak Reduce the side of the upper northwestern crown aspect by 2m with a 75mm maximum cut diameter Reduce all deadwood greater than 50mm back to a 50cm stub G2D - TPO number G6 Oak Reduce the side of the upper northwestern crown aspect by 2m with a 75mm maximum cut diameter G2E - TPO number G6 Oak Reduce the side of the upper northwestern crown aspect by 2m with a 100mm maximum cut diameter T2 - TPO number T16 Oak Crown raise to 4m above ground level over the northwestern aspect with a 100mm maximum cut diameter. Reason The upper crowns in the north western aspect have large branches which hyperextend over or towards the agreed garages. There is also some large dead branches present in the north western aspects. Please see attached document for specification and annotated photographs

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

10 Magdalen Road Exeter EX2 4SY
T1 - Eucalyptus - Reduce away from property (no. 10 Magdalen Road) allowing a clearance of approximately 1.5m - 2m. Reduce away from neighbouring property (no. 12 Magdalen Road ) allowing a clearance of approximately 1.5 - 2m. Reduce lower branch towards road on Northwest aspect by 1.5 -2m. Crown raise lowest limb in neighbouring property by approx 1m -1.5m. Reason for works: The proposed works are intended to provide appropriate clearance from the neighbouring properties (Nos. 10 and 12) and the adjacent road, reducing the likelihood of branches coming into contact with the buildings during periods of high winds or continued growth. The crown reduction and selective crown raising will also allow increased natural light to reach the neighbouring properties while retaining the tree?s overall form, health and amenity value. The works represent a balanced approach to ongoing tree management and will help minimise the potential for future damage to nearby structures.

40 Alphington Road Exeter EX2 8HS
T001 Elder - A full crown reduction of approximately 1.0-1.5 metres to reduce overall crown dimensions while maintaining a balanced and natural form. T002 Acer - Reduce and reshape the Acer crown by up to 0.5-1.0m on selected branch extremities to maintain a balanced natural form, undertake a light crown thin (approximately 10-15%) to remove congested and crossing branches, and carry out a minor crown lift where required to provide clearance beneath the canopy

Block H Birks Halls New North Road Exeter EX4 4GE
The yew tree in question is showing signs of asymmetric crown formation. After previous limb failure causing a structural imbalance to the remaining crown. My proposal for the future vigour of this tree is to Install a dynamic cobra bracing system to support the imbalance of the lower structural limbs forming a strong three way triangulation of support for the lateral growth that has become very prone to wind through. Please see photo (Yew Reduction Points) for bracing points highlighted in blue. Selective thinning of the whole crown by removing internal growth with a maximum cut size of 60mm diameter 1.5m length by removing multiple smaller limbs I believe this will be more beneficial to the trees structure, and limit the amount of large wounds left by the thinning works. Allowing for better wind distribution through the remaining crown hopefully eliminating future wind through. by leaving the larger structural limbs intact for the future longevity of the structural integrity. please see photo (Yew Reduction Points) with cut points highlighted in red for chosen thinning points throughout the crown Remove failed limb back to the branch collar. The failed limb supported by lower crown hazard beam fracturing of the timber 150mm diameter 2.5m length this will be the largest of the limbs to be removed through suggested works. red dotted line on attached photo hard to see the hazard beam on the photo (Yew Reduction Points) Selective reduction of the height maximum of 1m in length 40mm cut size to the crown on selected limbs again highlighted in red so that again the risk of wind through will be reduced.
