157 Pennsylvania Road Exeter Devon EX4 5DF
Identified as T1 on the sketch plan. It is an English Oak TPO no.338. The tree is healthy but has developed the "stag's head" common these days on many oaks which in my opinion is down to our changing climate though can also be in part due to stress around root area. Anyway, it has developed dead wood predominantly in the center at the top of the crown and it is this bear wood that we wish to remove for safety reasons aswell as improving the appearance. The largest of these is maximum 3 metres long and approximately 6 inches diameter where it would be removed. There are 5 other smaller dead branches near to this (to the side and below) that are clear to see which we would also like to remove.

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
