  Magnolia tree in rear left corner of back garden at 39 Powderham Crescent. Complete removal of tree required as tree has caused both rear wall at 39 Powderham Crescent to become unstable and boundary wall between 38 and 39 Powderham Crescent to be unstable. Not planning on replacing the tree as any future tree in this location would impact the boundary walls again in future.

  T1 Plum tree. This is an old tree around 10 metres tall, in very poor condition. It has lost a couple of branches over the past few years. Its growing at an angle, and although our arborist does not think its an immediate danger, he suggests - in view of the fact that its very close to the boundary - that the top third should be removed in order to reduce any risk. We will also remove the ivy. T2 A dense thicket of self-sown Bay trees. They were cut down some years ago, but are vigorously regrowing and are around 6 metres tall at the highest. We would like them trimmed again to about 2 metres. T3 Yew shaping. This is a fastigiate tree around 9 metres tall, and we would like to restore it to its natural shape. We have tidied the base of the tree over a number of years, clearing out ivy, and the new growth is now over a third of the total height. We would like to continue reshaping it by removing some branches that are splaying outwards so that the tree will form a positive vertical accent in the overall treescape.

  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
