    The tree root barrier installation works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability to 43 Wonford Road, Exeter, Devon, EX2 4UD. The installation of the root barrier will involve root severance to various trees as per the arboricultural report, please see the root barrier feasibility report showing the location of the barrier to be installed.

  • 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.
