The Flat Broadway House 35 High Street Topsham EX3 0ED
T1 - Birch Suggested Works: Crown reduce by 2.5 metres and reshape accordingly, maximum diameter cuts 75mm. Rationale: These works are suggested to reduce and contain this large tree which is beginning to dominate the garden and the bus stop on the other side of the wall. The roadside works are also to ensure that the tree does not breach the Highways Act 1980 and give suitable clearance above the bus stop immediately beneath the tree. T2 - Magnolia Grandiflora Suggested Works: Dismantle to ground level. Rationale: This tree is growing extremely close to the property and boundary walls, both of which the owner would like to make repairs to. These repairs will not be possible with the tree in place.

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
