  We lived in a conservation area and we just want to maintain the natural beauty of our garden. We have applied for previous permission and been granted council permission to trim trees within our garden a laurel (1) and cherry blossom (2). We have got a tree surgeon in for advice and we would like to de-ivy and maintain our sycamore tree (3). It is an old tree therefore the tree surgeon recommended de-ivying and trimmed 2-3 branches one of which is blocking the sunlight into our garden. It is at the back of our garden and we have contacted the local primary school st thomas to discuss these works.

  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
