  I have been asked to reduce back some branches/crown lift a tree over the driveway at Sydenham House as the bin lorry is catching the branches of a purple beech. I would be crown lifting by approx. 5 metres and cutting the branches back by a little under half to keep the shape but keep the tree back off the drive. I am aware that the property is within a conservation area and so would you please let me know whether I can simply do this or whether further information is required. Please see the attached photo which shows the purple beech just before the drive curves around.

  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
