Planning application

Brookwell House Eworthy Germansweek EX21 5AH

Decided South Hams 2643/26/TCA Works to a Tree in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Relates to 2057/26/TCA

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T3. Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) - Fell to ground level and remove all arising material. It grows in very close proximity to, and is closely interwoven with, T1 Cherry Laurel and T2 Common Hazel, both of which have already been approved for removal under application 2057/26/TCA. The proposed works are therefore to fell T3 Sycamore to ground level, allowing the closely grouped and interwoven canopy to be dealt with as a whole alongside the already approved removal of T1 and T2.

As published by the council, reference 2643/26/TCA
