34 Matford Avenue Exeter EX2 4PL
T1 ? English Oak (TPO'd tree)The crown of this tree extends into two gardens, 34 Matford Avenue and the neighbouring property Lindon Lodge. The suggested specification of works affecting Lindon Lodge is:Lowest southern limb, arising at 6m above ground level (AGL) ? remove lowest secondary branch back to source on parent limb, diameter of cut 100mm; reduce remaining tertiaries by 1.5m, MDC 25mm. Next lowest limb on southern aspect, arising at 7m AGL ? remove lowest secondary branch back to source on parent limb, diameter of cut 100mm; remove lowest (of three) secondary branches, diameter of cut 75mm, prune remaining tertiaries by 2m, MDC 25mm. Next adjacent limb on southern aspect ? prune away from property to achieve a 3m clearance, MDC 50mm. The suggested spec of works for the 34 Matford Avenue Garden is:Reduce western aspect by 2m, MDC 25mmReduce southern aspect slightly to contain and reduce loadings on potentially newly exposed limbs by 1.5m, MDC 25mm. Specification across entire canopy:Crown lift to 4m above ground level, MDC 25mm Remove major hazardous deadwoodT2 - Pine (Conservation Area, no TPO)Prune eastern aspect to achieve a 3m clearance from property and reduce south eastern aspect by 2m, MDC 75mmRemove major hazardous deadwood, remove old brace and install new 4t Cobra bracing systemReason for works:T1 - this mature Oak tree is now in contact with Linden Lodge, suggested pruning is necessary to achieve a suitable clearance. The canopy of the Oak tree is spreading westwards towards 34 Matford Avenue, intended light pruning is to contain. The southerly pruning is to reduce any loadings on any potentially newly exposed limbs. T2 - the Pine tree is spreading towards the frontage of the property, suggested pruning is to contain. All the above listed works are considered arboriculturally appropriate and will have minimal impact on the tree's physiological processes.
