About 12 Follett Road
12 Follett Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Topsham, Exeter, Exeter (EX3 0JP). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.

- Oct 2020Tree WorksTreesIn report
The first tree is question is a non-fruiting damson tree, around 5-6 m high on the eastern boundary of our property near to the house and just in front of the patio. We are progressing with planning-approved extension works to the house which are nearing completion and we wish to make significant improvements to the garden environment. The tree in question has a stunted trunk which looks like it has been hacked by previous occupants and there is woodworm and rot evident. The tree then kinks awkwardly across the boundary line of the property because this is regrowth from the previous cuts and this shape will prevent us from planting new hedging along the boundary line. We would like to remove this tree, whilst at the same time we have plans to plant new trees in other locations in the garden. The second tree in question is a fruiting apple tree which is about 3-4 m high. We are working with a professional garden designer and he may suggest to uproot and then retain and replant the tree elsewhere in the garden, so we would like apporoval to do this if recommended. He has extensive experience with this type of procedure.
