St Michaels Ce Primary School South Lawn Terrace Exeter Devon EX1 2SN
Approved on 30 July 2020
Council decision: PermittedDelegated (officer decision)
Proposal
Fell three trees due to constant complaints from our neighbours in Newcombe Street as the trees are blocking all the light from their properties and gardens. These trees were planted when the school was altered about 13 years ago. They are part of a woodland area which the school use constantly. These three trees have got particularly large and need to come down. They are not being replaced as there are still plenty of trees in this area.
