Planning application
10 North Avenue Exeter EX1 2DU
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Tree is a leylandii in the extreme south east corner of the garden at 10 North Avenue. The garden soil level at the tree root is 4ft above the soil level in the garden of 17 South Avenue, and 3ft above the level of the garden in 12 North Avenue. The tree is over 15m tall and the root ball is only supported on the south and east aspects by single skin brick walls which have no foundations. These are failing and the tree is in a dangerous position and could fall at any time. The plan is to completely fell the tree and remove it.

1 x Holly - Reduce in height by 1m whilst matching the sides in to create a neat and tidy shape. 1 x Bay tree - remove tree to two feet above ground level in order for the fern to room to grow. Justification: Holly - Annual hedge trimming to create a neat and tidy shape. These works are to keep the holly bush at a manageable size and shape whilst looking aesthetically pleasing. Bay tree - This reduction is to increase the amount of light and spaces for surrounding ferns to continue to grow. A cyclic pruning regime will be initiated to increase the longevity of the tree, whilst making the tree a more manageable height.

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.
