    Previously applied and had work accepted on application 25/1193/CAT. However upon another site visit, I've realised, I made a mistake and identified the wrong tree. I've spoken to someone called Emily in the planning department and she advised submitting another correct application. Requesting a full dismantle and removal of a Quercus Ilex (Holm Oak) within the property, with urgency. As casing structure issues to a grade 2 listed cottage. The Quercus is fairly mature, with a gradual lean towards a grade 2 listed building and listed out building (garage). The canopy is now within very close proximity to the building, this however is not the main concern. The Quercus has grown in a very space between a listed cob wall, outbuilding and a grade 2 listed building to the rear of underwood cottage. The Quercus is causing significant issues to the foundations of the main rear wall on the grade 2 listed cottage to the rear of underwood cottage. The cottage is occupied by a 92 year old house bound man. A builder has visited the property and spoken to Mr.Castle (underwood cottage) and owner of the Quercus Ilex. The root plate has caused structure issues to the main supporting pillars holding up the rear of the cottage. The building has huge concerns and has been ackro propped to support the walls as seen in photographs attached. No work can be undertaken to these walls, whilst the Quercus is in place. As it will keep causing issues with its root plate. Pictures of the supporting walls and damage have been added in supporting documents. The Quercus is also moving listed cob wall, which has been repointed multiple times, but almost to point where repairs won't be possible.

    Requesting a full dismantle and removal of a Quercus Robur within the property, with urgency. As causing structure issues to a grade 2 listed cottage. The Quercus is fairly mature, with a very gradual lean towards underwood cottage which is a grade 2 listed building. The canopy is now within a very close proximity of the building, this however is not the main concern. The Quercus has grown in a very tight space between a listed cob wall, outbuilding and a grade 2 listed cottage to the rear. The Quercus is causing significant issues to the foundations of the main rear wall on the grade 2 listed cottage. The cottage is occupied by a 92year old house bound man. A builder has visited the property and spoken to Mr.Castle (underwood cottage) and owner of the Quercus Robur. The root plate has caused structure issues the the main supporting pillars and foundation to the grade 2 listed building. The supporting pillars hold up the rear of the house. The build has huge concerns and has ackro propped the walls to add support. But no work can be under taken whilst the Quercus in place as it will keep causing issues with its root plate. Pictures of the supporting wall have be added to the supporting documents. The Quercus is also moving a listed cob wall, which has been re-pointed multiple times but almost to a point where repairs won't be possible.

    1 Cherry Tree that has shown little leaf production this year and has been oozing sap in large quantities (possible gummosis) and dropping dead branches - also many smaller trees in area that have died back and show no sign of life We are concerned that the cherry tree will continue to drop branches causing a hazard for locals and that it is no longer stable - we wish to remove this tree We would aim to replace this tree with something similar but as yet have not decided on type The other dead trees in the area would be removed or cut back and replaced with similar or hedging depending on location

    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.

    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
