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.

    25/1106/TPO Submitted 14 Aug 2025 74m away

    T1 - Silk Tassel bush: Fell Reasons: This tree is growing close the wall of the property. It is not a big tree, and fairly insignificant in terms of the the amenity value of the area, and not visible from the road. Replanting of a similar species of tree is advised further from the wall of the property, so that it will have space to mature and form a natural habit. T2 - Variegated Holly: Fell Reasons: There is a fairly significant area of decay at the base of the tree, which has caused dieback in the crown. It does have amenity value, situated near the road, but is in decline. The decay is likely to continue to reduce the vigour of the tree, and cause eventual death. So it will be a better strategy to replant a variegated Holly somewhere near this spot, and possibly further out from the corner of the house to provide space to mature.
