Planning application
Parkfield House Holman Way Topsham EX3 0EN
Works: Trees
Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.
Proposal
We would like to reduce the crown of our Copper Beach (see image 001 & 002) by up-to 2m. The work is mainly required on new growth branches that will be overhanging a plot of land that we have recently sold where at building works will be taking place (see red boundary on image 003) and the reduction will be balanced around tree to maintain its shape. Work will be undertaken by our regular tree surgeon Exe Trees. They have surveyed the tree in question Building work starts on the plot of land approx May this year; we would like to do this work in advance of that.

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
