8 Monmouth Avenue Topsham Exeter Devon EX3 0AF
Proposal
T1 Ash, fell. This tree leans over a row of garages with asbestos roofs. My client is worried that if it contracts Ash die back disease, it could easily fail and crash onto the garages below. It has no amenity value, it is surrounded by four other large ash trees. T2, Ash. Pollard to 15ft. As can be seen from the photo, the crown has sparse leaf cover and is full of dead and dying branches. It is hoped that pollarding it will encourage new healthy growth and once again provide privacy from the Altimira flats.
