  7. Permitted26/0972/CAT

    I would like to remove the Magnolia Tree. It has become too large for the space and the root system has caused damage to the surrounding wall and driveway over the years which has been repaired but its now lifting the wall again from the foundations and its time to remove it and re-plant a smaller version. From the photos you can see the repairs to the driveway as the roots were causing cracking and also the repairs to retaining wall. It continues to grow vigorously year on year and its just got too big for what is a small space and I can't keep on top of the continual repairs needed.

  11. Permitted26/0979/TPO

    T19 - Fir Tree. Lots of low hanging dead branches that are killing the area around the base of the tree and stopping the tree itself from thrivingT20 - Spruce. Remove low level dead branchesT21- Monteray Pine. High branches that are growing into the roof area of No 19 Lister Close and if left will be on the roof with the possibility of damage to the property.This is essential tree maintenance work to allow the trees to thrive and grow and prevent damage to propertyPicture 1 - Shows the pathway and gives an aspect of all 3 trees which we wish to trimPictures 2, 3 and 4 - Show T 21- Monteray Pine with the branches growing into the adjacent property and our concerns lie that if left the branches will grow across the roof and to the walls and cause property damage (roofs and guttering at least). Pruning of the lateral branches on the property side only to achieve approximately 2-3 metres clearance between the foliage tips and the building, retaining a natural outline.Picture 5 - Shows T 20 - Spruce with many dead branches at the lower level, due, we believe, to the lack of light being allowed through to lower levels by the much taller trees either side. We would propose to only remove all dead, lower branches for the safety of the public (branches dying and falling) and to help the upper limbs thrive betterPictures 6 and 7 - Show T 19 - Fir Tree with lots of dead lower level branches which is allowing ivy and other creepers to grow up the tree, leading to potential wider spread damage. The struggling lower limbs are also not allowing access for gardeners to clear the weeds and undergrowth around the base of the tree. All of the above is hoped to improve the quality of growth of the remaining, healthy branches and to improve appearance. We would hope to lift it by 2.5-3m

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Exeter City Council, across all dates currently available. They are a partial dataset, rather than an authority-wide performance measure. The date range does not establish continuous historical coverage.

The approval percentage is approved records divided by approved plus refused records. Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded. No percentage is shown until there is an approved or refused record.
