    Please see application 25/1450/TPO dated 17 October 2025. The tree in question continues to cause damage to neighbouring properties, but permission to remove it was refused, with the expert report stating that if routine tree management were undertaken it would not cause problems. I am therefore applying for permission to undertake a lift of the canopy over the property as suggested by the expert report, which it describes as a reasonable and proportionate management response. Description of Proposed Works 1 - Removal of one lower secondary limb overhanging the neighbouring garden at approximately 5 m above ground level. The limb will be removed back to the main stem at a suitable growth point, retaining the branch collar. This is intended to reduce needle fall, prevent damage to garden plants, and improve light levels. All works will be carried out in accordance with BS39982010. 2 - Reduction of one lateral limb extending over the neighbours roof. Reduction will be made to an appropriate secondary branch to maintain natural form and balance. This is intended to reduce gutter blockage, lessen debris accumulation, and improve daylight to the front rooms of the neighbouring property. All cuts will comply with BS39982010. 3 - General Safety and Amenity. Crown lift to 3.5 metres above ground level over the neighbouring property by removing selected lower secondary branches only. No primary scaffold limbs will be removed. No more than 10 to 15 percent of the live crown volume to be removed. The overall form, height, and amenity value of the tree will be retained. All works will be undertaken by a suitably qualified arborist and will comply with BS39982010.

    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.
