19 Newcombe Street Exeter Devon EX1 2TG
Ash tree (A1 on sketch) to be felled Holly tree (H1 on sketch) to be felled, or at least drastic crown reduction. Currently stands at around 6m tall, maximum final height 3m These trees have been allowed to grow out of control over several years and in the case of the Ash in particular is an inappropriate woodland tree to have been planted in a small garden in the first place. The Ash stands at approximately 8m tall, and is in striking distance of the nearest part of the house should it fall. Together, the trees cast a large shadow in our (19 Newcombe street) throughout most of the afternoon, and blocks huge amounts of light to our neighbours at number 17. Neighbours on both sides are happy with this proposal, and we will benefit from good tree coverage between our houses and the school after after these trees are felled.

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
