T1-Silver Birch The tree has historically been managed by extensive pruning. The client feels the tree has known outgrown it's surroundings and unfortunately due to it's proximity to two properties pruning will not remedy this. Furthermore the tree has caused damage to the clients garden wall (as illustrated in images 905BAIBIR2 & 905BAIBIR3). Therefore the client wishes for the tree to be removed. It is worth noting that beneath the tree grows a semi-mature Japanese Maple that in the clients opinion presents a suitable replacement.

The tree is in my front garden at the centre of the border of the lawn, on the far side when looking from the house. I believe that it is a mountain ash. The tree needs to be cut back as it is swaying too much in the wind. The tree branches will be cut horizontally by between 54 and 108 cm, vertically by between 63 and 126 cm.

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
