    T1 - Apple, reduce crown to previous pruning points and thin canopy by 10%, maximum diameter of cut (MDC) 50mm. T3 - Weeping Birch, remove 3 small branches at top of tree, crown lift above neighbour's greenhouse to achieve a 1.5m clearance, MDC 25mm. T4 - Contorted Willow, crown reduce by approximately 1.5m, MDC 50mm. T9 - Cherry, fell severely declining tree to ground level. Reason for works: T1 & T3 are minor works that are acceptable as appropriate management for these garden trees; T4 has decay at the base of the tree and the reduction is to alleviate weight stresses at this point to allow the tree to continue to grow but remain stable; T9 is in a severely declining state and is not worthy of retention.

    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
