28 Velwell Road Exeter EX4 4LD
Wild damson or plum tree. No. 1 on the sketch plan.A substantial tree in a garden with other trees, bushes etc.Some of the branches of the tree reach out into and over the drive of the neighbouring property (owned by 'The Dales').They have broken the fence between the two properties. The foliage of the upper branches sometimes collides with high-sided vehicles in the driveway of the Dales. The proposed work is to prune those branches that reach out into the neighbouring property.This will enable the replacement of the broken fence (for which I am responsible) and avoid further damage. Also upper branches which reach out into the driveway need to be pruned. The tree itself will not be cut down nor will the pruning damage the continued life of the tree as a whole. The work will be completed by a tree surgeon (Neil Bygrave, Exeter Tree and Garden care)- a provisional date of Sat Nov 18 has been agreed, if approval is given by that date. The proposal has been discussed and agreed with the maintenance staff of the Dales.
