  1 Premier Place Exeter EX2 4LB

  We have a huge ash tree in our back garden which has ash die back. The tree already has a weakness where the trunk is split and a brace has been installed at a height of approximately 10 to 12 meters. We are very keen to look after the tree and do not want it removed. We have had advice from an arborist who has suggested that the best option is to reduce the height to reduce risk of damage during storms and to generally manage the tree for its best health. He advised that if we do these works the tree should be fine for years to come. Although it does have die back it is not severe. I contacted the planning department in 2022 who confirmed that our property was in a conservation area but that there were no TPOs currently on any of our trees. We would like to reduce the whole crown to just above the height of the brace currently.

  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
