G1. 4x Silver birch - Prune all lateral branches growing in a south eastern direction, towards the "The mint apartments" back to the main stem of each tree.

This will be done by removing secondary and tertiary branches only. All material is to be stacked at the base of each tree neatly.

14 Mary Arches Street Exeter EX4 3AZ
There are six trees in the garden of Exe Restaurant, Mary Arches Street, Exeter, running along the side of the wall that borders the old chapel building on the other side (now apartments 22 to 31 The Mint), which are proving to be a problem. They have grown so large that they are blocking the light from nos 22, 23, 24 and 27, but more importantly several branches are brushing on the wall and roof of nos 22 to 31 The Mint), threatening to cause structural damage. They urgently require pruning or lopping in order to prevent this.
