G1, G2 Elms, Field Maples and Sycamores : Prune and trim back in line with the existing stone boundary wall alongside Exeter Road and the public footpath; crown lift to 4 metres above the public footpath. Fell all dead & dying Elm. T1, Cupressus Macrocarpa Conifer : Fell. T2, Oak : Prune 2 branches of the north eastern aspect in the mid to upper crown by up to 2.5m making 2 x natural target pruning cuts of approximately 100 mm. Reasons for the works are vehicle, public and pedestrian safety and to maintain the health, safety and amenity value of all the trees.

T1, Beech tree : To prune back all the branches which are growing towards and touching the gable wall and roof of the last property of Ernsborough Gardens making natural target pruning cuts of up to 50 mm in diameter and removing 2m; branch lengths to give clearance to the property. T2, Beech tree : To prune back 1 x branch reducing the end weight and leverage of this branch and to improve aesthetics making 1 cut of 50 mm in diameter and removing 2m branch length. T3, Cherry tree : To prune back to give a half a metre clearance inside the boundary wall reducing the end weight and leverage of all branches making natural target pruning cuts of up 40 mm in diameter. T4, Holly tree : To prune back to give a half a metre clearance inside the boundary wall reducing the end weight and leverage of all branches making natural target pruning cuts of up 50 mm in diameter. D1, Dead Maple tree : To dismantle this tree to ground level. D2, Dead Yew tree : To dismantle this tree to ground level. Reason for works : To maintain public highway safety and to improve the aesthetics of the trees and to prevent future damage to neighbouring properties.

T1, Monterrey Cypress : located in rear garden on right hand side boundary next to yellow conifer and eucalyptus. Dismantle to the existing surrounding hedge height, around 2m, due to the tree being unbalanced as the north side of the tree has been pruned back severely in the past and is blocking light to the garden, long term wise this is the wrong tree in the wrong place. T2, Eucalyptus: located in rear garden on right hand side boundary next to yellow conifer. Pollard at around 5 to 6m in height at suitable union pruning points, due to the fast pace at which this species grows, my client would like to have these works carried out now before the tree grows any more and blocks more light to the conservatory.

T1. Ash. This tree is infected with Ganoderma applanatum and Inonotus hispidus, these bracket fungi are evidence along with the lack of foliage in the canopy that the tree's base is decaying, the tree has previously shed a large codominant leader, so we are applying to have the tree dismantled and removed, due to it's proximity to high traffic and foot fall. T2 Horse chestnut. This multi stemmed tree we seek to prune back the branches by up to 1.5m, off, of the neighbouring South side boundary roof, with maximum pruning cuts of no more than 75mm. T3 Lime. Remove deadwood on property side, along with pruning back the branches by up to 1.5m, off of the neighbouring South side boundary roof, with maximum pruning cuts of no more than 75mm. T4 Strawberry/Red horse Chestnut tree. This tree has significant decay at the base on the SW side, after using a nylon hammer I was able to conclude that the decay is more extensive than is visually evident and as such, I would like to thin the crown by up to 15% with pruning cuts of up to no more than 75mm, to lessen the sail effect and chances of future failure.

Beech tree growing in boundary wall. To be felled and removed, in full. The tree is causing damage to the boundary wall. A member from East Devon District Council viewed the beech tree from both gardens on the 29th April 2022, on request, following a safety complaint from neighbour, reported by tree owner to EDDC, and concluded that while the tree is probably safe the trees position is never going to improve and over time will create its own problems

Field maple on the western aspect of the site at 87 on the boundary with 89a. Identified as T8 on plan; propose coppicing the tree to prevent squirrels gaining access to the roof; no plan to replant tree in this location as coppicing will allow ongoing survival of the tree; squirrels have caused extensive damage to the property with the cost mounting into thousands of pounds and causing a fire hazard; whilst the squirrels can still access the roof space there is risk of ongoing damage despite having fitted rodent/bird protection to solar panels.

Oak (T2 ), fell and Oak (T3) reduce to four metres as suggested within the arboriculture report. This is due to ring barking having been carried out by a previous owner of our property as well as possible herbicide impregnation into the bark and as such is resulting in the death of both trees. There is concern that as these two trees continue to deteriorate further branch drop will cause damage to either people or property as the trees stand on the boundary of Lower Broad Oak Road. As we discussed with the East Devon Tree Officer and Arboriculturist, we will be replanting two saplings to compensate for the two Oaks being lost.

T1 Reduce top of Scots Pine by approx 3 metres. max diameter 20cm; branches on eastern stem reduce back to boundary Reason - neighbour is concerned the top of the tree twists in high winds, the tree has low vigour possibly from previous works carried out.

G1, Sycamore : crown lift to 5m above ground level over access driveway only. Maximum diameter of cut (MDC) 100mm G2, Bay : coppice remaining stems following recent stem failure over driveway. G3, Cypress : reduce height by approximately 3m and trim both sides to contain. T4, Sycamore : dismantle in sections to near ground level. Reason for works: G1 - Access has become difficult for larger vehicles using the driveway to access the other properties. G2 - Safety, recent stem failure has left the remaining stems compromised G3 - Overgrown Cypress boundary hedge, reducing the entire line of trees to contain the height and spread, to encourage thickening for a screen. T4 - Weak union at base of the tree, compression fork with elements of decay on southern side.

T1, Oak : DBH 25 inches, located in rear garden left hand rear boundary corner, raise crown to 6m, reduce height and width of tree by up to 1.5m, maximum pruning cuts of up to 120mm. The tree was last reportedly pruned in 2003 and not to good arboricultural practice at that time, since then it has become very dense, due to the poor pruning and is blocking light getting to the property. The tree has become too large for the area that it is in, there are also concerns over the lower lateral branches end loads, along with wanting to reduce the sail effect, after branches were lost during the recent storms.
