  We would like to prune a tree very close to the boundary of our house, and overhanging the Harefield Close. The tree is also quite close to the property with the routes undergrowing and is now very large and spread very wide. We believe the tree is a beach tree.

  This ash tree has been suffering from Ash dieback for several years, and now has significant damage to many branches. The tree overhangs both the garden and a driveway to two neighbouring properties, and has had work done in the past to remove overhanging branches (03/0354/TPO). There is a high likelihood of falling branches causing damage or injury. The damage to the tree will inevitably increase over time, so we have been advised by a tree surgeon that the best option would be to remove the tree now and plant a replacement tree in a suitable location. I am attaching separately an email from the tree surgeon explaining his opinion. We therefore want to remove the tree completely, and grind out the tree stump. Once the tree has been removed, we will decide the most appropriate location for a replacement tree, and the most appropriate species.

• Summercourt Lodge Hill Exeter Devon EX4 4AB

  21/0807/TPO Submitted 13 May 2021 100 yards away

  Sycamore TPO 503 ref T4 at Summercourt, Lodge Hill, EX44AB has had considerable squirrel damage over the past few years. Now, as leaves emerge, it is clear that the large central trunk (one of three) is dead. No leaves appear on this section and also there is a branch from it overhanging the road and a neighbour's property. We are concerned that this could become dangerous and would like to remove all or part of the tree, whichever is deemed suitable by the LPA tree expert.
