    Three trees need work because they are obstructing neighbouring properties including the Nursery at the Old Station House, the platform at Topsham Station and the road Holman Way. The trees are marked Tree1, Tree2, tree3 on the attached plan. They need to be pruned back to remove the obstructing branches from the road and neighbouring properties. This will entail trimming back and removing small branches. There will be no work done on large branches (bigger than 12 cm in diameter) Trees 1 and 2 are beech and tree 3 is sycamore
