  T1 - Monterey Pine - Thin the density of the lowest primary lateral branch (which directly overhangs the front garden of the adjacent property) by 30%. This will consist of third order growth only, natural target pruning, and dead wood. Diameter cuts made will be restricted to 2 inch diameter. Reasons - Residents have been worried about this branch for many years. Re-assurance has been provided, and weight removed in the past. The proposed work is designed to reduce the 'sail effect' of the canopy, without adversely affecting the vigour and health of the limb/tree. T2 - Dying Yes tree - Reduce to approximately 6 metres high, or the bowl of the main stem. Reasons - The tree is dying, with very little living growth left. The work is essentially a pollard, and a last chance effort to invigorate the tree into producing foliage. Although pollarding does not always work, this tree will not survive, and start dropping the dead lateral branches. Reducing the size of a crown can concentrate a trees resources into producing new foliage, and so this remedial work is recommended. T3 - Holm Oak - Reduce one stem overhanging the rear gardens of Canterbury Rd by 4 metres. Cut size of approx. 27cm. The stem in question comes into contact (lower down) with the previously reduced stem overhanging the gardens. Reasons - The stem originates from a groups of stems forming the crown of the tree. The tree was coppiced earlier in its life, hence the multi stemmed re-growth. This re-growth is inherently weak, and there are significant lateral forces exerted, especially in high winds, making it likely for stems to fail at the original union. Currently the stem in question moves to a greater degree (observed in moderate winds) when compared with the rest of the crown. Therefore this work is recommended. Recommendations/evidence is provided by Hywel Davies, Consultant for Exe Tree Care Ltd

  We have one tree located at the top of our garden which is very large and blocks out most of the sunlight throughout the day. It also causes a lot of debris and blockages of our guttering throughout autumn / winter months from leaves. The tree looks very untidy where some branches could be trimmed to provide more daylight into our garden and less debris. Some branches are also hanging which could be a risk if the break and fall into our garden.

  T1 - Oak, three stemmed tree bifurcating at approximately 2m above ground level (AGL). Eastern stem - reduce by 2m, maximum diameter of cut (MDC) 50mm. Northern stem - reduce limb arising at 7m AGL by 2m, MDC 50mm. South-western stem - reduce by 2.5m, MDC 75mm. Reduce limb growing north arising at 4m AGL by 3m, MDC 75mm. Crown lift to 3m AGL. This large tree's limbs and branches are extending beyond the rest of the canopy and the intended reduction is to alleviate the weight stresses throughout the tree's limbs and unions. The works are considered arboriculturally appropriate.

  Remove dead branches throughout the crown where they present a clear risk of falling into the garden, sheds or boundary fence. Remove broken or hanging branches at risk of detachment, limited to secondary and tertiary branches only, maximum cut diameter 80 mm. Crown lift to provide 2 m clearance above garden level by removing selected small secondary and tertiary branches only, maximum cut diameter 50 mm. Reduce lateral branches on the east aspect by up to 2-3 m, targeting secondary and tertiary branches, maximum cut diameter 80 mm, to trim back the periphery of the crown.
