   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 9 October 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Exeter took a median of 50 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Exeter for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

An outline application tests the principle of developing a site before the detail is worked up. Some or all of the particulars, such as appearance, layout, scale, access and landscaping, are held back as reserved matters for later approval. Permission at outline stage does not by itself allow building to start; the reserved matters must be approved first.

  We have one tree located at the top of our garden which is very large and blocks out most of the sunlight throughout the day. It also causes a lot of debris and blockages of our guttering throughout autumn / winter months from leaves. The tree looks very untidy where some branches could be trimmed to provide more daylight into our garden and less debris. Some branches are also hanging which could be a risk if the break and fall into our garden.

  T1 - Monterey Pine - Thin the density of the lowest primary lateral branch (which directly overhangs the front garden of the adjacent property) by 30%. This will consist of third order growth only, natural target pruning, and dead wood. Diameter cuts made will be restricted to 2 inch diameter. Reasons - Residents have been worried about this branch for many years. Re-assurance has been provided, and weight removed in the past. The proposed work is designed to reduce the 'sail effect' of the canopy, without adversely affecting the vigour and health of the limb/tree. T2 - Dying Yes tree - Reduce to approximately 6 metres high, or the bowl of the main stem. Reasons - The tree is dying, with very little living growth left. The work is essentially a pollard, and a last chance effort to invigorate the tree into producing foliage. Although pollarding does not always work, this tree will not survive, and start dropping the dead lateral branches. Reducing the size of a crown can concentrate a trees resources into producing new foliage, and so this remedial work is recommended. T3 - Holm Oak - Reduce one stem overhanging the rear gardens of Canterbury Rd by 4 metres. Cut size of approx. 27cm. The stem in question comes into contact (lower down) with the previously reduced stem overhanging the gardens. Reasons - The stem originates from a groups of stems forming the crown of the tree. The tree was coppiced earlier in its life, hence the multi stemmed re-growth. This re-growth is inherently weak, and there are significant lateral forces exerted, especially in high winds, making it likely for stems to fail at the original union. Currently the stem in question moves to a greater degree (observed in moderate winds) when compared with the rest of the crown. Therefore this work is recommended. Recommendations/evidence is provided by Hywel Davies, Consultant for Exe Tree Care Ltd
