Proposal
T21 - Poplar, reduce low southern branch as identified in supplied photo, by 5m. 175mm diameter of cut.

28 Fleming Way Exeter EX2 4SE
Poplar NT3 This is a tree growing on adjacent land thought to belong to Exeter City Council, the tree overhangs 28 Curie Mews. Specification - Reduce the lowest branch over the north eastern aspect by 3.5m with a 100mm maximum cut diameter, not cutting beyond the boundary Reason for works - This branch has a potential point of decay 1m distal to its junction which may indicate some weakness. The aforementioned branch is also heavily weighted towards the end and it is hyperextended, it looks to have sagged under the load, separating from the general crown profile. It overhangs the garden and trampoline.
