Planning application
Dene Court Kahanah Care Butts Road Exeter Devon EX2 5HU
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
318- T1- Cedar- Crown raise by 3M to allow access for vehicles and ground maintenance as branches currently at head height on the grass. Remove low hanging branches that overhang the road extensively on the wall side and are rubbing against the wall and also on the BT communication line. 318- T3- Manna Ash- 1.5-2m reduction and a 20% thin. This tree has grown out to one side and is rubbing on BT lines whilst also starting to fill the neighbours gutters with leaf litter. One low hanging branch is also effecting the safety of residents as it's at head height. Customer wants the tree to be rebalanced and safety restored for residents and the BT line. 318- T4- Holly- 1.5m reduction and a 10-15% thin. Low hanging branches are encroaching head height on the public footpath and access is required underneath for grounds maintenance. 15% thin allows for a general tidy up as it's now quite dense. 318- G1- Plane- 15% thin. This tree has grown towards the light as there was previously another tree sheltering it. The sheltering tree was removed in previous years but the tree needs to be rebalanced a little. Branches have been broken off by the local bus and one long branch is threatening BT cables.

Cedar T1 Specification - Reduce the top of the tree back to the previous point at approximately 17m above ground level by removing the 'dog leg' apical stem, using a 150mm maximum cut diameter. - Reduce the sides of the western, northern and eastern crown aspects by up to 2m from 5.5m to approximately 3.5m, using a 60mm maximum cut diameter Justification - There has been notable excavation undertaken within 30cm of the main stem, which includes some root severance - The greatest risk is from the tree uprooting and striking several parked cars; this risk is considered tolerable. - Without seeing the tree before the disturbance, it is difficult to form a confident opinion, on that basis intervention is merited. Holly T3 Specification - Fell Justification - The base of the northern stem is growing in contact with the pillar of the retaining wall. The wall is pushing out towards the footpath (away from the tree) and there are extensive cracks travelling along the mortar. - Reparation works do not seem merited with the tree in situ. Replacement tree - Planted on the greenspace approx. 4m to the east - 1x bare root (8-10) standard Hornbeam

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.
