  The application is to undertake work on 1 tree. (T1) T1 is a large Weeping Willow. Seeking permission to pollard T1 to approximately 5m in height. Maintaining a good structure for future regrowth. T1 is currently overhanging the main road and public footpath and also touching the windows and brickwork of the adjacent building. Pollarding T1 will keep it at a more reasonable size and decrease any risk of branch failure causing disruption or damage to the road/road users.

  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
