Planning application

1981/26/TCA

All Hallows Church Of England Broadwoodkelly EX19 8ED

Decided West Devon Works to a Tree in a Conservation Area

Proposal

T1: Beech - Crown lift to 4.5m above ground level and lateral reduction to primary limbs over gravestones that are regularly visited, by a maximum of 2.5m of branch length by the removal of branches directly overhanging and touching said gravestones. There has been further branch drop this week that landed on top of a row of gravestones that are actively visited. There is one overhanging bow that has already split and we believe poses risk to life and limb should it shed whilst people are present, let alone damage the gravestones. This work was previously reported by a qualified tree surgeon.

As published by the council, reference 1981/26/TCA

The process from here

The council has decided this application; the published outcome sits in the record above and the decision notice on the council portal carries the detail, including any conditions.

If permission was granted, work must normally begin within three years of the decision. If it was refused, the applicant can appeal within the statutory time limit or submit a revised scheme.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
