  36 Ide Lane Alphington Exeter EX2 8UT

  Based on advice of a professional arborist (Wild Service Tree Care), the following work has been identified as necessary for the holistic welfare of the property and garden of 36 Ide Lane: A. Removal of one Sliver Birch. The tree is separate from the main canopy of the garden, and is failing to fluorish. The tree?s health is significantly impeded by the proximity of thick laurel. B. Reduction in height of Norwegian Maple by up to 5m. Tree will be sympathetically trimmed to protect the integrity of both the tree and the property. The maple does have a lean towards the thatched house, which is within easy reach of the full length of the tree. Reduction will reduce excessive canopy and temper the threat from extreme prevalent winds, especially when the tree is in full leaf. C. Reduction in height of one willow tree by up to 5m. Early maintenance is recommended to enhance the longer term health of the tree. The concern is exacerbated by a major natural split near the base of the main trunk (as shown in supporting photographs).

  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
