5 Linden Vale Howell Road Exeter Devon EX4 4LF
Rowan Tree to be cut down to approx 2.5m for safety reasons. The tree carried leaves on some branches in 2021 but others were dead. In 2022 there were no leaves or growth on the tree at any point so it is concluded that it is now dead. Some upper branches have become brittle. It is proposed to feel the tree to a stump 2.5m high, retaining the rose and ivy growing over it to provide some natural habitat for wildlife.

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
