T1 Lime ? reduce crown dimensions by approximately 2m (max cut diameters <75mm). Work discussed on site and recommended by Joe Moreshead (TPO Officer ECC) Reasons - Because the tree (T1 ? Lime) is considered to make a significant contribution to the character and visual amenity value of the wider conservation area, any proposal that is considered to be unjustified and detrimental to the tree, is likely to result in the council serving a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).

26/1206/TPO Granted
87 Greyfriars Road Exeter EX4 7BS
T1 - Sessile Oak- Remove to Ground level - Removal of the heavily suppressed sessile oak with the bark-included junction is advised to eliminate the risk associated with that structurally weak junction, reduce intra-group competition and improve spacing within the group, which will support the long-term condition of the remaining trees and help keep risk within broadly acceptable levels. T2 - Monterey Pine - It is recommended that the leaning branch from the Monterey pine that extends above the neighbouring garden is pruned back to remove the over-extended section over the adjoining property and reduce the lever arm acting on the branch union, thereby lowering the risk of branch failure into the neighbouring garden while maintaining a balanced crown where practicable this is approximately 1.5 metres in length.
