Digby Park And Ride Digby Drive Exeter

Granted Exeter 25/1649/TPO Works to Protected Trees (TPO)

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

G1: Common Holly, Hazel, Hawthorn, Wych Elm and Goat Willow. G2: Wych Elm, Hawthorn, Hazel, Hornbeam and Pedunculate Oak. G3: Hazle, Pedunculate Oak, Goat Willow. G4: Hazel, Goat Willow, Hawthorne. G1: Mixed species group comprising common holly, hazel, hawthorn, wych elm and goat willow. Trim back all mixed vegetation to the kerb line along approximately 50 linear meters. Crown lift two (2) no. goat willow to a height of 2.4 meters to provide suitable clearance for parked vehicles. No additional coppicing or felling is proposed within this area. G2: Mixed species group comprising wych elm, hawthorn, hazel, hornbeam and pedunculate oak. Trim back mixed vegetation to approximately 2.4m height where it is encroaching onto the carriageway to the kerb line over approximately 100 linear meters. Specimen trees will not be touched, and no additional felling or coppicing is proposed within this area. G3: Mixed species group comprising hazel, pedunculate oak and goat willow. This area is of particular concern in relation to site security. Coppice approximately 50% of the hazel to improve light penetration from existing street lighting and to enhance sightlines throughout the area. Trim back overgrown vegetation where it is encroaching onto parking spaces to the kerb line. No works are proposed to specimen trees. G4: Mixed species group comprising hazel, goat willow and hawthorn. Trim back vegetation to the kerb line to improve access to electric vehicle charging points. Remove one snapped limb from the goat willow and carry out a crown lift to approximately 2.4 metres to improve clearance. No additional coppicing or felling is proposed within this area. Necessary for public safety. Overgrown hedges and self-seeded vegetation are restricting visibility, obstructing street lighting and potentially compromising CCTV coverage.

    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.
