  T2 Fig Tree ? removal of tree. This tree grows right up against a grade two listed cob party wall which party wall neighbours recently had to be repaired prior to us moving into our house on 13th November. This tree had been left to grow uncontrolled over a number of years by the previous owners and is out of shape and proportion to its location. We are open to advice on appropriate replanting due to the proximity of T1 TPO 331 Holm Bush. T3 Bay Tree ? Crown reduction and crown lifting to maintain the historic shape of the tree in proportion to its location and allow light and space for the accompanying garden. It is proposed to reduce the vertical growth of the tree as viewed in the accompanying picture. A height reduction of 6-8 feet and a crown lifting of 4 feet.

  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.
