21 Elm Grove Road Topsham Exeter EX3 0EJ
Proposal
The tree is a mature Laburnum (according the Dartmoor Tree Surgeons. It has died within the past 12 months, as is evidenced by peeling bark, and the lack of any leaf growth this year. It is situated on the our side of the fence line, between 21 (our house) and 23 Elm Grove Road. It is clearly diseased and, once removed, will be replaced with an Apricot tree which is currently on site in a large planter pot. The dead tree is shown as Tree 1 on the attached chart. It is intended to fell the tree to ground level, and let the roots rot naturally.
