Proposal
4 x Silver Birch - Reduce the height of the 3 larger trees by 3m. This will be achieved by drop crouching, shortening branches by pruning off the end back to a lateral branch which is at least 1/3 of the diameter of the removed branch. To reduce the overhang from the property back to boundary line. 1 x Rowan - Sever Ivy to create a 1m section of Ivy. 1 x Horse Chestnut - Crown reduce overall by 1m to suitable growth points while retaining the main framework & shape of the crown & therefore a high proportion of the foliage bearing structure. 3 x Ash trees - Crown lift all these trees to the agreed points whilst quoting. This includes removing the lowest 2 limbs on each tree back to the main stem. All works carried out to BS 39982010 Tree Works Recommendations. All arising material shall be removed from site and returned to our premises for recycling. Justification 4 x Silver Birch - Reduce the height of the 3 larger trees by 3m. That a cyclic pruning regime is initiated to increase the longevity of the tree, especially with the close proximity with the dwelling. 1 x Rowan - Sever Ivy - These works are to be carried out in order to assess the health of the tree. These works will also help to reduce the wind sail of this tree. 1 x Horse Chestnut - Crown reduce. These works are being carried out to keep the tree at a more manageable height. 3 x Ash trees - Crown lift all three Ash trees in the rear garden 4 Lawrence Avenue, St Thomas, Exeter, EX4 1BW. - Crown lift secondary & tertiary branch growth only up to approximately x5 metres from ground level to achieve the desired vertical clearance above the garden sheds. This includes removing only the lowest 2 limbs on each tree back to the main stem. These 6 limbs in total once removed will create the desired vertical clearance.

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
