Ground Floor Flat 39 Powderham Crescent Exeter EX4 6BZ
Magnolia tree in rear left corner of back garden at 39 Powderham Crescent. Complete removal of tree required as tree has caused both rear wall at 39 Powderham Crescent to become unstable and boundary wall between 38 and 39 Powderham Crescent to be unstable. Not planning on replacing the tree as any future tree in this location would impact the boundary walls again in future.

6 Powderham Crescent Exeter EX4 6DA
T1 Plum tree. This is an old tree around 10 metres tall, in very poor condition. It has lost a couple of branches over the past few years. Its growing at an angle, and although our arborist does not think its an immediate danger, he suggests - in view of the fact that its very close to the boundary - that the top third should be removed in order to reduce any risk. We will also remove the ivy. T2 A dense thicket of self-sown Bay trees. They were cut down some years ago, but are vigorously regrowing and are around 6 metres tall at the highest. We would like them trimmed again to about 2 metres. T3 Yew shaping. This is a fastigiate tree around 9 metres tall, and we would like to restore it to its natural shape. We have tidied the base of the tree over a number of years, clearing out ivy, and the new growth is now over a third of the total height. We would like to continue reshaping it by removing some branches that are splaying outwards so that the tree will form a positive vertical accent in the overall treescape.

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
