    T1 Holly Raise crown by circa 1m The crown is currently trailing over the roof of the cars that park below it and partially obstructing the pavement of Cathedral Close. To protect the pedestrians, vehicles and the health of the tree, we propose to raise the crown by circa 1m.

Raise crown by 1m To maintain the health of the tree and provide access to the new vets practice, we would like to cut back the growth at the base of the tree and raise the crown by 1m. T7 Turkey Oak Remove The turkey oak is growing in an unsuitable location very close to the building and needs to be removed. T8 Unknown multi-stemmed bush Cut back 1m in line with grass and reduce height by circa 1m to shape To maintain the proportions of the formal lawn we would like to cut back this bush and shape it.

    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.

    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.
