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.

Mowbray Court Butts Road Exeter EX2 5TQ
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.

Fort Villa 1 Wonford Street Exeter EX2 5HU
Cedar T1 Specification - Reduce the top of the tree back to the previous point at approximately 17m above ground level by removing the 'dog leg' apical stem, using a 150mm maximum cut diameter. - Reduce the sides of the western, northern and eastern crown aspects by up to 2m from 5.5m to approximately 3.5m, using a 60mm maximum cut diameter Justification - There has been notable excavation undertaken within 30cm of the main stem, which includes some root severance - The greatest risk is from the tree uprooting and striking several parked cars; this risk is considered tolerable. - Without seeing the tree before the disturbance, it is difficult to form a confident opinion, on that basis intervention is merited. Holly T3 Specification - Fell Justification - The base of the northern stem is growing in contact with the pillar of the retaining wall. The wall is pushing out towards the footpath (away from the tree) and there are extensive cracks travelling along the mortar. - Reparation works do not seem merited with the tree in situ. Replacement tree - Planted on the greenspace approx. 4m to the east - 1x bare root (8-10) standard Hornbeam
