  Palm tree in back garden, which is clearly not a native species, is an eye sore, unsightly, looks unhealthy and may interfere with drainage from rear of property, particularly after works completed Request to remove Whilst currently unlikely to be considered diseased or at immediate risk of falling, tree has a very narrow base with poor structural integrity and I worry it may fall. Successful planning application attached and palm tree is clearly drawn, next to compass arrow. Our successful planning permission application required some effort for Council to be happy that property changes were in keeping with the style and character of the 3 houses in our row yet the other two houses have lush native trees and we are burdened by several ugly palm trees, completely out of keeping with properties style and of which the leaves do not even break down when fallen from the trees

  87 Greyfriars Road Exeter EX4 7BS

  T1 - Sessile Oak- Remove to Ground level - Removal of the heavily suppressed sessile oak with the bark-included junction is advised to eliminate the risk associated with that structurally weak junction, reduce intra-group competition and improve spacing within the group, which will support the long-term condition of the remaining trees and help keep risk within broadly acceptable levels. T2 - Monterey Pine - It is recommended that the leaning branch from the Monterey pine that extends above the neighbouring garden is pruned back to remove the over-extended section over the adjoining property and reduce the lever arm acting on the branch union, thereby lowering the risk of branch failure into the neighbouring garden while maintaining a balanced crown where practicable this is approximately 1.5 metres in length.
