Planning application
26 West Avenue Exeter EX4 4SD
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 - Blue Atlas Cedar. - Lateral branches, predominantly in the lower crown, but also partially mid to upper crown: Shorten selected branches that extend significantly beyond the main foliated body of the crown, removing up to 3 metres of growth from the longer branches, but more commonly 1.5-2 metres from others. - The top growth will not be pruned; so the aim is to reduce the width to achieve a more compact/uniform appearance, but without pruning where it is not necessary. T2 - Copper Beech - Lowest South east facing lateral branch over the the neighbours garden: Shorten back by 2 metres.

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
