11 Lyndhurst Road Exeter EX2 4PA

T1 - Copper Beech - Reduce in height by 3 metres, and shorten back all lateral growth by up to 1.5 metres to balance the form. T2 - Robinia - Reduce in height by 2-3 metres (previous growth points), and reshape by 1-2metres to balance the form. T3 - Dying Silver Birch: Fell

10 Bartholomew Terrace Exeter EX4 3BW

1x Silver Birch - Reduce overall canopy back to previous pruning points & shape Reduce the height of the tree by approximately 2.0 metres leaving a final tree height of approximately 9.0 metres. Reduce radial canopy spreads by approximately 2.0 metres leaving a final radial crown spread of approximately 8.0 at all compass points while retaining the main framework & shape of the crown & therefore a high proportion of the foliage bearing structure. 1x Lowest branch on the NW aspect of the tree - Prune back to the main stem. Justification; The proposed works to T1 - 1x Silver Birch are intended to maintain the tree at a sustainable size for its setting whilst preserving its health, structural integrity, and amenity value. The reduction back to previous pruning points will ensure continuity of the existing crown framework, helping to maintain a balanced form and a high proportion of the foliage-bearing structure in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations. The specified reduction of approximately 2.0 metres in height and radial canopy spread will leave the tree at a final height of around 9.0 metres with a uniform crown spread of approximately 8.0 metres at all compass points. This will alleviate concerns of excessive shading and encroachment on the surrounding property while retaining the trees contribution to the character of the Conservation Area. All pruning cuts will be made to suitable growth points, with wounds not exceeding 50 mm in diameter, to minimise the risk of decay and promote healthy re-growth. Removal of the lowest branch on the NW aspect will improve clearance and balance without compromising the crown structure. All arisings will be removed from site and returned to a Devon Tree Services depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean, and tidy.

LAND OPPOSITE GENEVA CLOSE, WONFORD ROAD, EXETER

I am applying to reduce the face of the line of Evergreen Oaks that make up a hedge at Lister Close identified on the sketch map (scan 09-09-25_2055) as TPO 544. The hedge can be seen in IMG_20250731-092442, IMG_20250731-092546 and IMG_20250731-092413 which also show the extent to which it is encroaching onto the roadside. I am proposing to reduce the face that is encroaching onto the access road and Lamp post by approximately 6 feet (due to cutting back to appropriate pruning points) along the length of the hedge adjoining the roadside which is approximately 22.8m. Pruning the trees back by 6 feet will clear the Lamp post that is currently covered allowing light back onto the access road and also allow more visibility for the vehicles that use the Road. The two pictures attached; IMG_20250731-092506 and IMG_20250731-092425 show the branches making up the face of the hedge. As shown in the photos there are adequate pruning points that could be cut back to that would leave minimal wounds to the branches and plenty of points of new growth.
