  T1 - Beech - Reduce the height by 2.5 metres, and shorten back the sides by approx. 1-1.5 metres, to leave a balanced form. Reasons for work - Health and safety factors. The tree has been randomly dropping branches where residents regularly walk. The thinning crown makes it more likely for the tree to deteriorate further and continue shedding branches. - Reduction work is likely to affect the vigour of the tree to some degree. Wounds can take longer to heal, and sun scorch can affect the bark when there is less leaf cover. However, the surrounding trees provide a degree of protection in this case. - Diameter cut sizes should be limited to 9-12cm topping cuts, and 6 cm lateral branch cuts. Natural target pruning should be practiced. 2nd to 3rd order growth should be pruned where possible, and cuts made no greater than a third diameter of the parent branch.

Prune the side back from the building by up to 1 metre (approx 2 inch diameter cuts). Reasons - The lever arm on this laterally growing stem is such that a weight reduction is prudent now to prevent risk of future failure.

  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
