44 The Strand Topsham EX3 0BB
In the garden between The Strand and the RiverExe we have inherited two 'Castlewellan' Leylandii trees that have grown into a common crown and have totally outgrown their location in height and width and density despite their annual maintenance. (they can be clearly seen on Google Maps though these pictures were probably taken some 2 or 3 years ago as our builders 'kit' is also shown). We wish to remove these one/two trees (with Exe Tree Care Ltd to dismantle them to ground level and grind out the stumps etc) and we will replant the area with hedging (possibly beech to match the existing hedge on the road frontage, or perhaps Griselina to handle the salt water spray that comes over the river wall at very high tides. I also want to plant some smaller trees for visual and wildlife interest ... possibly to include Crataegus Laevigata (Paul Scarlet) and a common Medlar. Many thanks (The Google Maps footage shows the garden which is opposite our house, that is clearly marked with "Strand End" over its front door)

Stoneycombe Matford Road Exeter EX2 4PE
Please see Plan attached. This plan was submitted with a similar application on 7 October 2020. T 1 was felled in 2020. T2 and T3 were pollarded. T2 and T3 require pollarding again because of their proximity to the house. See detail on plan.) T3 is already touching the house and over the roof.

11 Devonshire Place Exeter EX4 6JA
The tree is a Cypress tree located at the front of 11 Devonshire place, to the right hand side when looking at the house. We would like to replace the tree with a native tree species - either a rowan or a cherry - in order to provide flowers for pollinators in the spring/summer and food for birds in the winter. We would like to do the removal in late (~Nov) 2026, well after the bird breeding season, in order to plant the new tree in early 2027 after the last frosts. The tree itself sits at the boundary of a conservation area.

11 Devonshire Place Exeter EX4 6JA
The tree is a silver birch. We would like to carry out "crown reduction" reducing the height of the tree from ~10m to ~7m. Similarly, we would like to reduce the spread of the crown at the rear to reduce the amount of overhang with our rear neighbours. We will keep the left-right spread similar, only carrying out "crown thinning" in this respect to ensure the tree does not block too much light from our neighbours' gardens and our own.

Electricity Distribution Site Parkfield Road Topsham
Mixture of bay and cherry large shrubs to remove, which have become overgrown in the contained area next to the electricity sub station. We have removed what we can so far, but need approval to remove the rest, as they are around 5 inches at waist height. Plan to remove fully as no remedial value where they are located. Approx 20 stems to remove WHAT3WORDS is stow.poetic.skills
