  Tree preservation order no: 528 T1 on plan which is a horse chestnut. Proposed felling of remaining tree trunks after part of the tree split and fell due to storm damage. Reason for felling is the tree is now deemed unsafe. If it were to fall it would land on a public pathway, in an area of garden where children play, into a neighbours garden and potentially on parked vehicles.

  23/1146/CAT Submitted 15 Sep 2023 50 yards away

  Haldon View border?s Pennsylvania Road with a 95m boundary of mostly Ivy, privet, holly, maple , buckthorn and brambles. The hedge is generally around 5.5-6m tall with a few taller trees such as maple that are interfering with telephone lines. I would like to take the entire hedge( including the trees which are dead and a few that are circa 6m )to 4-4.5m. The work would be conducted from within the property boundary by a professional tree surgeon/ landscaper. This will allow for proper maintenance and restoration of the hedge but undertaking a plan of replacing the Ivy with native shrubs. Photos to be uploaded

  24/1419/TPO Submitted 27 Nov 2024 50 yards away

  Robinia (T1) - The tree fell due to the presence of loose bark throughout its structure, which caused the wood to become brittle and soft in its later stages. Additionally, climbing roots attached to the southern side of the stem contributed to its instability. The tree was located near a children's playground in the garden and along the public path known as Spring Lane.

  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
