Proposal

Front Garden: 1-4 Bay Trees: Reduce Bay Trees to approximately 10ft above ground level (from their current approximate height of 35 feet) 5 Honey Locust: Prune branches away from communications cable 6 Yew: Reduce height to approximately 12ft above ground level (from its current approximate 20ft height) and reshape to a ball shape Group of 8 Bay Trees in hedgeline: Reduce Bay Trees to approximately 12ft above ground level (from their current approximate height of 35 feet) Rear Garden: 1-5 Bay Trees: Reduce Bay Trees to approximately 15ft above ground level (from their current approximate height of 35 feet) 6-8 Laurel: Reduce to approximately 10ft above ground level (from their current approximate height of 35 feet) 9 Laurel: Reduce to approximately 15ft above ground level (from its current approximate height of 35 feet) 10: Reduce to approximately 10ft above ground level (in line with the adjacent trellis)

8 Wonford Road Exeter EX2 4EQ
The Holly tree marked as no.1 on the sketch plan is to be removed in its entirety. It has lost most of its leaves and is dying. It has a large hole in the base of the trunk and could be deemed a danger to the public if it was to fall. Please see attached photos. The tree will be replaced with a similar evergreen tree that will eventually grow to the same height / shape.

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.

26/1312/CAT Awaiting decision
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.

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
