Planning application
13 Apple Farm Grange Exeter EX2 7TH
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 - Oak Crown reduce by up to 2m, with pruning cuts not exceeding 50mm in diameter. Provide a vertical clearance of 4.5m to 13 Apple Farm Grange, requiring two cuts of up to 75mm in diameter. Reason for Works: This large, mature tree exhibits a vigorous growth rate and is overhanging and shading multiple neighbouring gardens. A light reduction at this stage is considered appropriate arboricultural management and will help to manage the trees size while keeping the impact on its physiological processes minimal. If left unmanaged, more extensive pruning is likely to be required in the future.
