What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
About full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

19 - 20 Howell Road Exeter EX4 4LG
Existing apple tree in back garden of nursing home. We intend to just trim about 60cm from the overall tree on branches no bigger than 2.5cm in diameter that have grown over the last 2/3 years. We have engaged a profesional arbourist to carry out this work for us. We would like to do this work due to it overhanging into a car park, and the amount of fruit falling causing an increase in vermin within the gardens of the care home.

We had a Ash tree cut down in nov 2019, all the way down to the stump and had it ground down, we would like to grind this down further and try to kill the roof off, as this root is running under ours, and our neighbours garage, we would like to grind down a further 100-200mm off the stump as it also has become a trip hazard at night. We have consulted with a local arborist who can do this for us with the correct machinery, this will be done at the same time as the pruning of our apple tree we have just had approval.
