  The tree is some sort of pear. The grafted part is dead and the extant part is pushing down the garden wall. We would like to fell the tree. This has been a long-term plan (the tree has been unwell for several years), which is why we planted a 2 year old quince tree 2.5m away from the pear tree in 2024. We would like to fell the tree.

  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
