   Added to PlanIndex

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

  Copper Beech - T1 - situated at bottom (SW) end of garden of 14 Matford Avenue. Proposed works: Canopy reduction of 1.5 - 2m. (leaving a remaining canopy width of 8-10m and canopy height of 14 - 15.5m) Justification for works- The works are proposed to allow more natural light into the property and neighbouring gardens and to prevent the tree from obstructing views. The pruning will be carried out in line with good arboricultural practice, maintaining the trees health, form, and amenity value while keeping it at a suitable size for its setting. The tree has previously been reduced by 25% and recovered very well.

  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.
