  Proposed Works T1 ? Sycamore Reduce canopy by approximately 20% (1?2m). Avoid large-diameter cuts. Maintain a balanced structure and natural form. T9 ? Beech Reduce overall height to align with the reduced sycamore (2?3m). Reduce lateral branches by approximately 1m. Undertake a 10% canopy thin to improve light penetration. T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 & T8 ? Coniferous Trees/Shrubs Fell and remove all specified coniferous trees/shrubs. Stump grind to below ground level. Works to facilitate replanting with more suitable species. Justification for Works: T1 (Sycamore) & T9 (Beech): Works are proposed to improve light penetration into the garden, supporting the growth and establishment of understory planting and other vegetation. T2?T8 (Coniferous group): Removal is recommended due to their close proximity to the property / retaining wall and to create space for replanting with species more suitable to the site context.

  T1 - Silk Tassel bush: Fell Reasons: This tree is growing close the wall of the property. It is not a big tree, and fairly insignificant in terms of the the amenity value of the area, and not visible from the road. Replanting of a similar species of tree is advised further from the wall of the property, so that it will have space to mature and form a natural habit. T2 - Variegated Holly: Fell Reasons: There is a fairly significant area of decay at the base of the tree, which has caused dieback in the crown. It does have amenity value, situated near the road, but is in decline. The decay is likely to continue to reduce the vigour of the tree, and cause eventual death. So it will be a better strategy to replant a variegated Holly somewhere near this spot, and possibly further out from the corner of the house to provide space to mature.

  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
