Mowbray Court Butts Road Exeter EX2 5TQ

Granted Exeter 26/0181/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

TPOd trees: T1 - Lime, remove basal epicormic growth T15 - Pear, reduce height by 2m Conservation area only: T5 - Ash, reduce southerly limb by 2m to appropriate growth points T6 - Ash, reduce southeasterly growing limb by approximately 2m to appropriate growth points G7 - Elm, fell 4 no. of dead stems T9 - Sycamore, remove scrub at base of tree T10 - Sycamore, reduce southwestern aspect, away from residential property, by approximately 2-3m. G12 - Elder, coppice 2 no. of stems Justification of works to T1 & T15: The clearance of the basal epicormic growth on T1 is to allow for a detailed inspection of the base of the tree. The Pear tree, T15, has had a large branch, or co-dominant stem, tear out and left a large wound and a significant volume has been removed. A reduction in the height is to reduce loadings at this point and for the benefit of the tree and its longevity. See the report for full details.

    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
