Council decision: PermittedDelegated (officer decision)

Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

T1: Plum - Reduce to previous pruning point T2: Beech - Reduce via thinning approx 3m T3: Silver Birch - Crown reduction 2-3m T4: Indian Bean Tree - Request to fell to ground level. Whilst we have tried to maintain this tree, it is an incredibly fast growing tree which is now dominating a relatively small area. Over the last few months there has been continued branch drop (some of substantial size). The largest branch missed my son and I by inches and was at least 2m long. Another branch would have landed on a car had it been parked there at the time. Advice taken from Dartmoor Tree Surgeons. T5: Cypress Hedge - Cut back wayward stems and reduce in height by 1-2m T6: Oak - Crown reduction and thin
