    T1 eucalyptus. - reduce by up to six meters. t1 has a severe lean towards the property and has previously been pollarded to an approximately 3 meter tall stump. there is a large open area of decay in the rear side of the main stem, deeply compromising the anchoring factor of the rear side of the stem, this decay has been observed and recorded over multiple previous surveys and it is now recommended that a reduction by up to six meters is required to removal a significant amount of weight from the canopy and take the tree out of striking distance from the property.

    Based on advice of a professional arborist (Wild Service Tree Care), the following work has been identified as necessary for the holistic welfare of the property and garden of 36 Ide Lane: A. Removal of one Sliver Birch. The tree is separate from the main canopy of the garden, and is failing to fluorish. The tree?s health is significantly impeded by the proximity of thick laurel. B. Reduction in height of Norwegian Maple by up to 5m. Tree will be sympathetically trimmed to protect the integrity of both the tree and the property. The maple does have a lean towards the thatched house, which is within easy reach of the full length of the tree. Reduction will reduce excessive canopy and temper the threat from extreme prevalent winds, especially when the tree is in full leaf. C. Reduction in height of one willow tree by up to 5m. Early maintenance is recommended to enhance the longer term health of the tree. The concern is exacerbated by a major natural split near the base of the main trunk (as shown in supporting photographs).

    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.

    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.
