Next adjacent limb on southern aspect prune away from property to achieve a 3m clearance, MDC 50mm. The suggested spec of works for the 34 Matford Avenue Garden is Reduce western aspect by 2m, MDC 25mm Reduce southern aspect slightly to contain and reduce loadings on potentially newly exposed limbs by 1.5m, MDC 25mm. Specification across entire canopy Crown lift to 4m above ground level, MDC 25mm Remove major hazardous deadwood T2 - Pine (Conservation Area, no TPO) Prune eastern aspect to achieve a 3m clearance from property and reduce south eastern aspect by 2m, MDC 75mm Remove major hazardous deadwood, remove old brace and install new 4t Cobra bracing system Reason for works T1 - this mature Oak tree is now in contact with Linden Lodge, suggested pruning is necessary to achieve a suitable clearance. The canopy of the Oak tree is spreading westwards towards 34 Matford Avenue, intended light pruning is to contain. The southerly pruning is to reduce any loadings on any potentially newly exposed limbs. T2 - the Pine tree is spreading towards the frontage of the property, suggested pruning is to contain. All the above listed works are considered arboriculturally appropriate and will have minimal impact on the tree's physiological processes.

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
