Impact: - 1 x Ornamental cherry tree and 4 x Sycamore trees will be removed to facilitate this proposal. Several small trees will be planted as well as suitable landscaping. The current proposal will not have 30% or more canopy cover which is not helping to keep the city clean. Also the plans show this is as 4 x Norway maple to be removed -as far as I know it's mainly Sycamore trees in this area.

Impact: Sections of the existing hedgerows will be removed and new replacement of mixed native species planted. One of the hedgerows has up to 11 apple trees which are at risk of being removed. The current proposal is around 35 new trees to be planted including English oak. 35% of the housing is to be made as affordable. The canopy cover is not likely to hit the 30% target which the Exeter City Council are aiming for

Impact: Some of the existing hedgerow will be removed / reduced. The plans advise that the mature Deodar cedar tree to the right of the builders access will be left alone. A small number of mixed tree species will be planted around the grounds which will help attract wildlife. Assuming the mature Deodar cedar is left alone then the overall planning proposal would be positive. However - it would need to remain the original 60 beds to allow a more comfortable living experience.

Impact: Currently the area is fairly open with a hedgerow on one side. There are no mature trees on the site. The proposal is a set of office buildings and car parking. Unless a suitable amount of trees is planted to offset the pollution created by  the general use of the site, this planning proposal will have a negative effect. As per the Councils current guidelines - all planning should try and aim for a minimum of 30% canopy cover.

​Impact: There are many established hedgerows and nearly all of the trees within the proposal are mixed species within the hedgerows. The plans indicate a lot of ivy will be removed and a fair amount of large shrubs / trees will be 'managed' by either felling / flailing / general tidy up. Extreme caution needs to be taken when 'managing' these hedgerows due to the amount of disturbance to the wildlife as well as a reduction of bio-diversity in the area. A lot of field elm (and hybrids) are noted which are likely to be infected with DED. These should be reduced in numbers and replaced with other native shrubs such as field maple, hawthorn and holly. It is not clear on how many trees are due to planted in the proposal, but based on the amount of land and reduction in hedgerows / trees - several hundred young trees / shrubs should be replanted. The nearest green space (park) is Chantry Meadows which is a small park and would take about 10+ minutes walk from the 'proposal'.

​Impact: Adding 200 'dwellings' will mean an additional 200+ people and X amount of vehicles replacing the current fields and hedgerows. The increase in general pollution and noise will be greatly increased. It is unclear of how many trees will be planted per dwelling or person. The existing hedgerows will be maintained and improved.

Impact: Unknown as the plans only show the survey and layout of the trees within the area. It is likely that one or more trees / hedgerows will be removed to accommodate the proposal. Due the layout of the area it is likely that bats would be present.  There is already heavy redevelopment North (Tithebarn way) that has seen a huge loss of established hedgerows. As such a lot of the wildlife has now been forced to vacate anywhere else nearby - including this site. A full wildlife survey should also be carried out to ensure no endangered or sensitive species are impacted. The RSPB have commented and requested a minimum of 20 swift boxes.

The photos are very limited due to the type of roads. As you can see there is already high amounts of redevelopment close by - so any further reduction to the fauna and flora would be highly negative. Careful planning and consideration for the wildlife should be the priority here.

Impact: It is unclear on how many trees / plants are expected to be planted in conjunction with the 24 dwellings. It is also unclear of how much of the surrounding hedgerows will be at risk with the proposal. It would be seriously negative if any of the existing hedgerows are damaged or removed for this application.

The planning information does not go into enough detail regards the surrounding hedgerows or what new trees and plants would provided. There is already a fairly new housing estate next to it - unsure of how built up this is. Please leave your comments below - they are all welcome. But more importantly - if you are a resident of Exeter please leave a comment on the Exeter planning website. ​

Impact: Approximately 15 mature trees of different species will be felled if the development goes ahead. One of these trees is a Blue atlas cedar which is an endangered species. The increase in people and reduction of trees would be highly negative for this busy part of Exeter.

As you can see - there are a lot of established and mature trees here. Most of these would be felled to make room for the new block of flats. Please leave your comments below - they are all welcome.
