  T1 - Blue Atlas Cedar. - Lateral branches, predominantly in the lower crown, but also partially mid to upper crown: Shorten selected branches that extend significantly beyond the main foliated body of the crown, removing up to 3 metres of growth from the longer branches, but more commonly 1.5-2 metres from others. - The top growth will not be pruned; so the aim is to reduce the width to achieve a more compact/uniform appearance, but without pruning where it is not necessary. T2 - Copper Beech - Lowest South east facing lateral branch over the the neighbours garden: Shorten back by 2 metres.

  T1 and T2 - western red cedars - as you can see from the structural engineers report, the trees roots systems are pushing against, and damaging, the retaining wall adjacent to the pavement. In the past, the wall has been patched/repaired but as this is going to be a worsening problem and the owners of the property have a legal duty of care for health and safety. As a result they need to deal with the situation with the wall, unfortunately it would appear that the removal of the two trees, and then the major repair works to the two walls, and behind the walls where the root systems are, is required. As a result this is an application to dismantle the trees T1 and T2. If the tree officer dealing with this application feels there is an alternative method where retaining the trees and cutting away at their root systems is a possibility then the owners of the trees would be happy to have this actioned. They are also aware and happy to carry out replanting to the front of the properties in the areas currently taken up by T1 and T2. I feel this could possibly create a more biodiverse and native vista.

  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
