64 Magdalen Road Exeter EX2 4TN

Awaiting decision Exeter 26/0287/CATEX Conservation Area Tree Works (Exempt)

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

An old quince tree snapped at the base in recent storms and keeled over. (It produced its last single fruit five years ago and I have a seed-propagated sapling growing in the garden). Sadly, it has had its day and it needs to be cut down. I am hoping to preserve shoots at the base for potential new growth.

As published by the council, reference 26/0287/CATEX
