Spring House Matford Road Exeter EX2 4PD

1. Group G2 - Mixed Species Work: Prune to clear buildings by 1m. Reason: Branches are growing too close to the building. Pruning will provide a minimum 1 metre clearance and help prevent branch contact, abrasion to the structure and future maintenance issues. 2. Group G6 - Mixed Species Work: Prune to provide 2m clearance from neighbouring property. Reason: Vegetation is encroaching towards adjacent land. The pruning is recommended to maintain a reasonable separation from neighbouring property and prevent nuisance or potential damage. 3. Tree 5 (Tag 733) - Pittosporum Work: Prune to clear adjacent building by at least 1m. Reason: The survey records that the tree is growing at an angle and is in contact with the adjacent building, with the crown close to the structure. Pruning is required to remove contact and establish an appropriate clearance. 4. Tree 11 (Tag 737) - Turkey Oak Work: Crown lift to provide 5.2m clearance over the adjacent road. Reason: Low branches extend over the highway. Crown lifting is required to achieve the statutory highway clearance of approximately 5.2 metres and reduce the risk of vehicle strikes 5. Tree 21 (Tag 736) - Pittosporum Work: Prune to provide 2m clearance from the building. Reason: The survey notes that the crown is close to the building/infrastructure. Pruning will establish a suitable clearance and reduce the potential for branch contact with the structure.

Glencoe Lyndhurst Road Exeter EX2 4PA

T1 - Beech - Reduce the height by 2.5 metres, and shorten back the sides by approx. 1-1.5 metres, to leave a balanced form. Reasons for work - Health and safety factors. The tree has been randomly dropping branches where residents regularly walk. The thinning crown makes it more likely for the tree to deteriorate further and continue shedding branches. - Reduction work is likely to affect the vigour of the tree to some degree. Wounds can take longer to heal, and sun scorch can affect the bark when there is less leaf cover. However, the surrounding trees provide a degree of protection in this case. - Diameter cut sizes should be limited to 9-12cm topping cuts, and 6 cm lateral branch cuts. Natural target pruning should be practiced. 2nd to 3rd order growth should be pruned where possible, and cuts made no greater than a third diameter of the parent branch.

The Bungalow 5 Manston Terrace Exeter EX2 4NP

T1 - Bay - Reduce in height by 4 feet, and trim the sides to compact form. Remove basal suckers. Remove one stem pressing against the shed. T2 - Silver Birch - Reduce in height by 2.5 metres (previous growth points), and reshape the crown by 1 metre to leave a balanced form

T1 - Bay tree - Remove to ground level and stump grind to allow replanting. T2 - Apple tree - Remove to ground level. - Apple tree in rear garden The apple tree is in poor condition and showing signs of significant decline. It only came slightly into leaf this growing season, with a very sparse canopy and reduced vigour. The tree has also been historically pruned quite hard, which may have contributed to its current poor condition. There is a considerable amount of deadwood throughout the sparse canopy, including larger dead branches. Overall, the tree appears to be in advanced decline with limited signs of recovery.

T2 - Lime Suggested Works: Reduce height and southern lateral spread by 2 metres, MDC 50mm. Prune remaining to reshape, tidy and contain.

These works are necessary to reduce loading and reduce the risk posed by this tree to an acceptable level. Reduction works to the Lime are proposed as part of the reasonable maintenance of this vigorous tree.

Variation of condition 2 (Plans) of planning permission ref. 26/0532/FUL, granted 15th July 2026 (Remodelling of a detached single dwelling, including a single-storey side extension, front infill extension, replacement two-storey rear bay and single-storey rear extension, roof alterations, and demolition of existing outbuildings), retaining the existing garage and reconstructing the garage roof to a flat roof; adding a covered porch to the main entrance door.

10 Magdalen Road Exeter EX2 4SY

T1 - Eucalyptus - Reduce away from property (no. 10 Magdalen Road) allowing a clearance of approximately 1.5m - 2m. Reduce away from neighbouring property (no. 12 Magdalen Road ) allowing a clearance of approximately 1.5 - 2m. Reduce lower branch towards road on Northwest aspect by 1.5 -2m. Crown raise lowest limb in neighbouring property by approx 1m -1.5m. Reason for works: The proposed works are intended to provide appropriate clearance from the neighbouring properties (Nos. 10 and 12) and the adjacent road, reducing the likelihood of branches coming into contact with the buildings during periods of high winds or continued growth. The crown reduction and selective crown raising will also allow increased natural light to reach the neighbouring properties while retaining the tree?s overall form, health and amenity value. The works represent a balanced approach to ongoing tree management and will help minimise the potential for future damage to nearby structures.

1 Manston Terrace Exeter EX2 4NP

Please see application 25/1450/TPO dated 17 October 2025. The tree in question continues to cause damage to neighbouring properties, but permission to remove it was refused, with the expert report stating that if routine tree management were undertaken it would not cause problems. I am therefore applying for permission to undertake a lift of the canopy over the property as suggested by the expert report, which it describes as a reasonable and proportionate management response. Description of Proposed Works 1 - Removal of one lower secondary limb overhanging the neighbouring garden at approximately 5 m above ground level. The limb will be removed back to the main stem at a suitable growth point, retaining the branch collar. This is intended to reduce needle fall, prevent damage to garden plants, and improve light levels. All works will be carried out in accordance with BS39982010. 2 - Reduction of one lateral limb extending over the neighbours roof. Reduction will be made to an appropriate secondary branch to maintain natural form and balance. This is intended to reduce gutter blockage, lessen debris accumulation, and improve daylight to the front rooms of the neighbouring property. All cuts will comply with BS39982010. 3 - General Safety and Amenity. Crown lift to 3.5 metres above ground level over the neighbouring property by removing selected lower secondary branches only. No primary scaffold limbs will be removed. No more than 10 to 15 percent of the live crown volume to be removed. The overall form, height, and amenity value of the tree will be retained. All works will be undertaken by a suitably qualified arborist and will comply with BS39982010.
