Frequently Asked Questions
What permissions do I need to remove a tree in Exeter?
In Plymouth, you may need permission from the local council if the tree is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or if it’s located in a conservation area. Before removing a tree, it’s advisable to check with the Exeter City Council to ensure compliance with local regulations and to see if any specific permits are required.
I'm worried about the health and safety of mine, or my neighbours, tree, what should I do?
Landowners are obligated to take reasonable measures to ensure their trees are both healthy and safe, fulfilling a “Duty of Care” as stipulated under Common Law.
For advice on tree health and the necessity of any work, it’s recommended to consult with a reputable arboricultural expert, such as an Arborist (Tree Surgeon) or Arboricultural Consultant, who can provide necessary services or guidance. If you are worried about a neighbours tree it is best to speak directly to them and communicate your concerns as they may not even be aware of the issue yet.
What is a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)?
A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is a legal measure that protects trees deemed significant due to their substantial contribution to the local environment and public benefit.
Generally, it is illegal to cut down, prune, uproot, intentionally harm, or destroy a tree under a TPO without prior approval from the planning authority.
How can I protect my trees from common diseases prevalent in the Exeter area?
To safeguard trees in the Exeter area from prevalent diseases, it’s essential to adopt several proactive strategies. Conduct regular inspections to catch early signs of disease, such as discoloration or abnormal growths, and engage in proper pruning to remove infected branches and improve air circulation. Maintain cleanliness by clearing fallen debris around trees, which minimizes the risk of harboring pathogens. Ensure trees are neither over nor under-watered and use appropriate fertilizers to strengthen their resistance to diseases. Applying mulch can help retain soil moisture and provide nutrients, but keep it away from tree trunks to prevent moisture-related diseases. Consider planting disease-resistant tree varieties recommended by local nurseries or arborists. Lastly, consulting with a certified arborist for regular health assessments and specialized care can significantly enhance your trees’ health and longevity.
