Proposal

Beech Tree - Remove - has damaged wall and cracked part of the pathway, gate cannot close anymore (photos attached). Concerned that the roots could also damage the pipes beneath the ground and the foundation of the building. In addition to this, the tree is now blocking a lot of light to all three flats. Tree surgeon contacted and in their professional opinion the tree needs to be completely removed to resolve the issue

    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
