  Reduce sycamore (1) and fir tree (2) on boundary of property. These are currently 40-45 feet high and are encroaching on neighbouring property and impacting on boundary wall. We want to keep the trees but they are dangerously tall and we feel they are a potential hazard. We wish to reduce each of them by approximately 10 feet and remove several of the lower branches which overhang neighbours garden. Prune one bough of magnolia tree (3) by approximately five feet as it is encroaching on telephone wire.

  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
