  Tree cutting required on behalf of Openreach to allow new overhead fibre cable to be installed between telecoms poles outside of Station Garage and #9 Elm Grove. Access channel to be cleared through the tree canopies to allow cable to pass through. There is a telecoms pole on the footpath outside of 9 Elm Grove Road that they require hoist access to the top of the pole to install new cables. They are looking for us to fully expose the pole but the trees in the front garden of 7 and 9 have covered the majority of the pole. The branches directly affecting the pole would need to be pruned back to give access, we would not be looking to carry out any felling or excessive clearance. Team would be pruning around 10 branches to clear cable. I have attached photos of the branches we would need to prune

  Three trees need work because they are obstructing neighbouring properties including the Nursery at the Old Station House, the platform at Topsham Station and the road Holman Way. The trees are marked Tree1, Tree2, tree3 on the attached plan. They need to be pruned back to remove the obstructing branches from the road and neighbouring properties. This will entail trimming back and removing small branches. There will be no work done on large branches (bigger than 12 cm in diameter) Trees 1 and 2 are beech and tree 3 is sycamore

  Sycamore (T1) - located in front of 9 Parkfield Way - Reduce height of sycamore by 8-10ft and reduce sides by 3-5ft, shorten back to a suitable side branch to leave a natural form. Thin out any crossing branches within the canopy. The aim is to provide enough clearance from the property and also to allow more light through the canopy. Sycamore (T2) - located in front of 7 Parkfield Way - Reduce height of sycamore by 8-10ft and reduce sides by 2-4ft, shorten back to a suitable side branch to leave a natural form. Thin out any crossing branches within the canopy. The aim is to provide enough clearance from the property and also to allow more light through the canopy.

  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.
