2 Westcombe Exeter EX2 8GH

T1 - 1Silver Birch (Betula pendula) Carry out a crown reduction in height, pruning the upper canopy back to the previously established pruning points, whilst selectively reducing and shaping the remaining canopy to maintain a balanced and natural crown form. The lower branches are to be retained to allow for the continued use of bird feeders currently installed within the lower canopy. All pruning cuts shall be made to suitable growth points in accordance with BS 39982010 - Tree Work Recommendations, ensuring the long-term health and structural integrity of the tree. All arisings generated from the works shall be removed from site and returned to a Devon Tree Services Ltd depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean, and tidy upon completion. Justification The proposed works seek to undertake a modest crown reduction to the height of the Silver Birch by approximately 1.5 metres, returning the canopy to either approximately 4.5 metres in height or to previous pruning points. The radial spread of the crown will remain unchanged. The tree is of relatively small stature and is located in close proximity to the adjacent property at 2 Westcombe, where it contributes to shading of internal living spaces and the immediate garden area. The proposed reduction is considered proportionate and necessary to increase natural light levels to the neighbouring property, thereby improving residential amenity. The specification has been carefully designed to ensure that the works are limited in scope and will not adversely affect the long-term health, structural integrity, or visual amenity of the tree. The main framework of the crown will be retained, and a high proportion of the foliage-bearing structure will remain following the works. All pruning cuts will be made back to suitable growth points in accordance with BS 3998:2010Tree Work Recommendations, with individual pruning wounds restricted to a maximum of 40 mm in diameter.

There is a very tall evergreen Oak growing with an equally tall pittosporum on our boundary by the driveway entrance. Historically there has been no management of the oak and I now sits across Matford Road. If is caught by high vans. We had a skip delivered recently (a small one on a small skip lorry). Delivery was fine, but the collection lorry snared itself and tore off one of the lower branches. My carpenter had to saw the branch off where it had snapped. We would like to use Neil Bygrave to bring it into a better shape and away from the traffic height. His quotation states these works:- To lift the crowns of one Drive Mouth Ilex Oak and Pittosporum by 3m to reduce Pavement, Road overhang and allowing lorry access to Property Parking. This would be achieved by the removal of 6 lowest Ilex branches and 3 lowest Pittosporum branches. Prune Ilex branch ends to allow 1m gap with Phone Line. All debris from work done disposed of off site. We agreed parking on Drive for Truck and connected Chipper.
