Clifton Cottage Barley Lane Exeter EX4 1TA
G1 - Oak intertwined with Sycamore (northernmost group in the tree line) - Reduce the crown of the Oak tree by 30-40% (approximately 3 metres), and reshape to leave a balanced form. Topping cut of 6 inches diameter, and lateral pruning cuts of 4 inch. Remove the deadwood. Reduce the sycamore tree to balance with the Oak tree. Reasons - The Oak is suffering from dieback in the upper crown. It is inconclusive whether this is due to local conditions (ie lack of nutrients/exposed roots due to position on Devon bank), but a reduction in it's size may invigour the tree and promote new growth. The Sycamore is suppressed due to its proximity to other trees, and would be exposed to wind forces after pruning the Oak. So a reduction in size is also recommended. T2 - Sycamore (immediately adjacent and south in the tree line) - Reduce in height by 4 metres, and reshape to leave a balanced form. 4-5 inch topping cut, and 2-3 inch lateral pruning cuts. Reasons - Significant decay in the lower stem at 2-3 feet high. After hammer testing the area of decay, it is possible that approx 60% of decay could exist centrally. Therefore I would recommend a reduction in size to help reduce the risk of failure at the point of decay. Please accept the above as the Consultancy report provided by Hywel Davies (Exe Tree Care Ltd)

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
