  T1 Oak. reduce crown by 3m all round which is roughly 20%. The crown has a bias to the south extending to within a meter of the house causing excessive shading and, as can be seen from the photo, causing the degradation of the lawn. To the north the crown extends over the boundary to the neighbouring house causing excessive shading there too. Reducing only those offending branches will leave the tree looking, unsightly and unbalanced which is why I think a full crown reduction will leave the tree in a better shape and will preserve its integrity . T2 Row of Ash and Sycamore along the eastern boundary. remove lowest branches to open up the view. According to my client these trees have grown into a large green oppressive wall . Removing the lowest branches to the line shown in the photo would alleviate the feeling of being closed in while at the same time leaving the collective crown undisturbed. T3 Leyllandi , fell. this conifer was trimmed as a ball shaped shrub in the past but has now grown into a dark mess. Removing it will give the much prettier Golden Monterey a better chance to thrive. T4 Oak . fell. this stunted tree is the smallest in a cluster of three trees growing a few feet to the east of T1. it is suppressed by the two more vigorous Oaks beside it.

  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
