T1 Yew: Crown raise to give 4m clearance over drive

and 2.5m over footpath.

T2: Cypress: Crown raise to give 4m clearance over

drive.

Reason: To provide adequate clearance over the

APPROVED: Subject to the conditions set out in the Arboricultural Officer’s Report.

305 17/2678/TRE

South Ward

MR CANN FLAT 1, KNOWLE GRANGE, KNOWLE DRIVE,

SIDMOUTH, EX10 8HN

3 Yew – trim annual growth. Reason – to continue

existing management.

T1, lime – formative prune by making reduction cuts

of 0.5 – 1m on second and third order branches to

leave a height of approximately 12m and a spread

of 2.5m. Reason to allow more light into buildings

and gardens and improve form.

SPLIT DECISION (a part of the application has been refused and a part approved).

The Council hereby GRANTS permission to carry out work described below subject to the

following conditions:

Approve the works to the Yews.

1. The works hereby consented to shall be carried out in accordance with British Standard

3998: 2010 (Tree Work – Recommendations).

(Reason – In the interests of amenity and to ensure the works are carried out in a

satisfactory manner.)

12

2. The works hereby consented to shall be carried out within a period of 2 years from the

date of this decision notice.

(Reason – To ensure that the works are carried out within a reasonable period of time.)

The Council hereby REFUSES permission to carry out work described below for the following

reasons:

Refuse the works to the Lime.

1. The Lime has a good natural form and growing as a specimen tree. It is a good distance

from Knowle Grange and the neighbouring buildings. The proposed works will reduce its

natural shape, reduce its present and future amenity value. Limes have a tendency when

pruned to produce excessive epicormic reactive growth which will require constant

management and will reduce the longevity of the tree.

MR C CUTLER 17 COOMBE HAYES, SIDMOUTH, EX10 9XX

Eucalyptus: Shorten back protruding branch from

the main crown.

The Council hereby REFUSES permission to carry out the work requested for the following

reasons:

With reference to the one limb requesting to be pruned, it is agreed that it does extend beyond

the main canopy. However, trees rarely produce regular canopies. There is no defect visible on

the limb and the application is not fully justified.

(4 letters of objection were received).
