    Crown reduction of 20% to the lime tree. These are halfway down our residential garden and both becoming too big for their setting. Crown reduction of approximately 3 metres from the top of the tree. Lateral crown reduction of approximately 2 metres from all sides. Approximate retained canopy radius - 3 metres. Approximate final tree height - 9 metres. The proposed works are intended to continue the established cyclical management of this mature lime tree. The tree has grown substantially since it was last reduced and is now encroaching onto neighbouring properties, resulting in the need for further management to maintain good neighbour relations. The arborist also advised that reducing the crown will help reduce the loading on the relatively slender predominant stem, supporting the trees long-term management. For reference, I have attached a photograph taken immediately after the last reduction in January 2023. The proposed works are intended to achieve a broadly similar level of reduction as as you will know, lime trees are very resilient to pollarding and regularly managed in this way.

    12The tree is not subject to a preservation order. It is highlighted via an arrow in the satellite image accompanying this application. We would like the tree (including stump) to be completely removed from the property via the best method a tree surgeon suggests (we have not consulted one as yet). Principally we are worried the tree roots could damage the patio and other garden features. We also think it could be a potential hazard to our hosue in stormy weather/high winds. The tree also blocks light to the patio and house.

    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
