    Crown reduction of 20% to the lime tree. These are halfway down our residential garden and both becoming too big for their setting. Crown reduction of approximately 3 metres from the top of the tree. Lateral crown reduction of approximately 2 metres from all sides. Approximate retained canopy radius - 3 metres. Approximate final tree height - 9 metres. The proposed works are intended to continue the established cyclical management of this mature lime tree. The tree has grown substantially since it was last reduced and is now encroaching onto neighbouring properties, resulting in the need for further management to maintain good neighbour relations. The arborist also advised that reducing the crown will help reduce the loading on the relatively slender predominant stem, supporting the trees long-term management. For reference, I have attached a photograph taken immediately after the last reduction in January 2023. The proposed works are intended to achieve a broadly similar level of reduction as as you will know, lime trees are very resilient to pollarding and regularly managed in this way.

    12The tree is not subject to a preservation order. It is highlighted via an arrow in the satellite image accompanying this application. We would like the tree (including stump) to be completely removed from the property via the best method a tree surgeon suggests (we have not consulted one as yet). Principally we are worried the tree roots could damage the patio and other garden features. We also think it could be a potential hazard to our hosue in stormy weather/high winds. The tree also blocks light to the patio and house.

    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.
