Proposal

Job - 82621 Acer pseudoplatanus - Aggressive fungal brackets (Kretzmaria deusta) present at stem base with significant decay concealed behind bark from ground level to 1.8m and 50cm wide at base. This fungal strategy is root and butt rotting, may cause branch and stem failure and is likely to render a tree unsafe. Significant targets - in striking distance of a residential property, historic wall beside a public footpath and under the canopy are memorial tombs and frequent use footpaths. This tree is recomended for felling to a 2m maximum stump. Fell tree to 2m stump Remove cordwood. Retain felled larger wood securely on site in an appropriate location for long term degradation and biodiversity value. Woodchip can remain on site to support retained larger wood or spread appropriately as a mulch layer.

    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
