  The application is to undertake work on 1 tree. (T1) T1 is a large Weeping Willow. Seeking permission to pollard T1 to approximately 5m in height. Maintaining a good structure for future regrowth. T1 is currently overhanging the main road and public footpath and also touching the windows and brickwork of the adjacent building. Pollarding T1 will keep it at a more reasonable size and decrease any risk of branch failure causing disruption or damage to the road/road users.

  There are 2 tall trees next to my front garden boundary wall which need to be removed: - because the neighbour in the adjoining flat/house has complained that they block his light - and they are in danger of falling down in a storm and breaking my boundary brick built wall which would crash down into his back yard. - The 2 tall tres are also interferring with the telephone wires on an adjoining telephone post.

  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.

  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.
