Carpark 14 Cathedral Close Exeter

Granted Exeter 26/0943/CAT Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 Holly Raise crown by circa 1m The crown is currently trailing over the roof of the cars that park below it and partially obstructing the pavement of Cathedral Close. To protect the pedestrians, vehicles and the health of the tree, we propose to raise the crown by circa 1m. T3 Magnolia Remove dead limbs and branches Roughly 60-70% of the tree appears dead and has done so for the last 2 years. We would like to remove the dead limbs and branches to provide space for the remaining portion of the tree to flourish. T5 Pittosporum Remove growth at the base. Raise crown by 1m To maintain the health of the tree and provide access to the new vets practice, we would like to cut back the growth at the base of the tree and raise the crown by 1m. T7 Turkey Oak Remove The turkey oak is growing in an unsuitable location very close to the building and needs to be removed. T8 Unknown multi-stemmed bush Cut back 1m in line with grass and reduce height by circa 1m to shape To maintain the proportions of the formal lawn we would like to cut back this bush and shape it.

    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
