Awaiting decision Exmoor National Park 26/02005/TCA Work to Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Application to carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T1 - Mulberry tree: needs periodic pruning, approval has been given historically on a one off basis. Application is for permission to granted in perpetuity so the work can be done every two years when required. Pollarding will reduce the current width from c.9 metres to c. 4 metres, and height from c. 8m to c. 4m. i.e. about 50%. The tree will maintain 4 main trunks and about 15 growth points as previously established from pollarding.

As published by the council, reference 26/02005/TCA
