    T1 False Acacia. Fell A structural survey carried out on behalf of the buyers of a neighbouring property flagged the proximity of the tree to that property and the risks that causes. Also due to the size of the tree it now places almost all of their garden in shade. The tree has become too large for my urban garden. If it is felled I will plant a smaller shrub or tree nearby to replace it, thus addressing the problems flagged above, whilst accommodating indigenous wildlife

    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
