26/2151/TRE - Felling/Lopping (TPO) Awaiting decision

Proposal

T3, Ash : crown reduce by reducing height by 2.5m, maximum diameter of cuts (MDC) 75mm, laterally reduce all aspects by 3m, MDC 75mm; remove major hazardous deadwood. T4, Ash : remove major hazardous deadwood. Rationale: T3 has become leggy with branches extending beyond the canopy, several branches are exhibiting excessive end weight and an increased risk of limb failure. The proposed reduction is considered appropriate arboricultural practice to reduce end loading and improve the tree's structural balance, whilst minimising the impact on its physiological function.

Site constraints 7

East Devon National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Conservation area 24 m away: Sidmouth Sid Vale; Radon affected area, class 4; 3 listed buildings within 150 m; Inside the Sidmouth built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
