6 Truro Drive Exeter EX4 2DY
Proposal
T1 - Oak Suggested Works: Reduce height of western stem by 3 metres and lateral spread by 1.5 metres, maximum diameter of cut (MDC) 1@ 150mm the rest at 50mm. Reduce southern aspect of eastern stem by 2 metres, MDC 50mm, remove major hazardous deadwood T2 - Silver Birch Suggested Works: Crown reduce to previous pruning points, resulting in a reduction of approximately 5 metres, MDC 75mm Rationale: The large and prominent Oak tree is dominating the small rear garden and also overhangs the footpath to the south of the tree. The deteriorating nature of this tree is causing material to fall into the gardens surrounding and into the footpath. The Birch tree has a history of pruning and it is advisable to repeat a similar operation. The works are suggested as part of the reasonable maintenance of these large garden trees and is expected to have a limited affect on the physiological processes of both trees.
