Planning application

13 Apple Farm Grange Exeter EX2 7TH

Granted Exeter 26/0432/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

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.

    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
