Planning application

Southernhay Lodge Barnfield Crescent Exeter

Granted Exeter 24/1221/CAT Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1- Sycamore Side prune lateral branches to gain a 2m clearance from adjacent building. T2- Sycamore Re pollard or crown reduce to gain a minimum clearance of 2m and sever the ivy engulfing the tree. T3- Coppice self seeder to prevent wall failure. T4- Light side reduction of selected lateral branches growing towards adjacent building. T2 has historically been pollarded and so has some weak unions, if the planning officer is against a re pollard we would like to reduce the crown spread by 2-3 metres. T4 would be a minimal reduction of lateral branches growing towards the neighbouring building of 2m

    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.

    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.

    Electricity Distribution Site Parkfield Road Topsham

    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
