  Ash. pollard to 10feet. There is significant basal rot caused by a fungal infection. As can be seen from the photo there are lesions with sap oozing from them . The photo provided was taken in early October when other trees still had full leaf coverage . In my opinion pollarding will give the tree a chance to carry on for a few more years with a considerably reduced risk of failure and damage the adjacent property (it is leaning over the fence towards Altamira Lodge )

  T1 Poplar , fell to ground level . Recent winds have made it lean towards neighbour`s house, with a raised root mound clearly visible at the base where it has lifted. In my opinion the risk of failure is very likely and would benefit from a speedy decision so it can be dealt with as soon as is practicable. The tree's amenity value is low as it is adjacent to a stand of much larger Poplars of which it is an offspring

  19 Falkland Close Exeter EX4 5EZ

  Oak tree on no mans land embankment which over looks garden of 18 Falkland Close, Exeter, EX4 5EZ. It has a large branch overhanging our garden. Tree surgeon Mitchell Tree Surgery has visited site and advised it needs to be removed. He says it is a large overhanging heavy limb which could cause considerable damage. Last year a large branch from a neighbouring oak next to It came down in a storm and caused damage. Our neighbours in number 18 and ourselves are concerned about this particular branch we wish to report to be removed. The tree itself has grown to 60 foot plus range and we all feel our houses are at risk. Sketch plan attached
