This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as the sale being a buy-to-let purchase, a repossession or a transfer to a limited company. When Land Registry suspects that a sale does not reflect full market value (e.g. part-ownership or right to buy), these transactions can be flagged as well. For this reason, we exclude them from our area statistics.

Planning applications

Planning ref:: March 2025 25/0215/CAT
Type:: Tree and hedge works
Status:: Status not known
Address:: The Mews Bowling Green Road Riversmeet Topsham
Description:: Sycamore (T1) - It is recommended to approve the felling of the tree due to significant bark damage caused by grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis). Grey squirrels are known to strip bark from trees, particularly during the spring and summer months, to access the nutrient-rich phloem layer beneath. This activity disrupts the tree's vascular system, impairing its ability to transport water and nutrients, which can lead to reduced vitality, increased susceptibility to disease, and ultimately, tree death. In this case, the extent of the damage has compromised the tree's structural integrity, posing a potential safety risk. Additionally, the tree's canopy fails to contribute to the visual amenities that enhance the character and setting of the Conservation Area. A healthy and well-structured canopy is essential for maintaining the aesthetic and ecological value of such areas, providing shade, habitat for wildlife, and visual cohesion with the surrounding landscape. However, this tree's canopy is sparse, uneven, or otherwise detracts from the overall visual harmony of the area, diminishing its contribution to the Conservation Area's distinctive character.
