Summary

Shorten Ash tree branches by approximately 3–4 metres to reduce weight and address ash dieback.

Full Proposal

The tree concerned is an Ash tree. The tree has grown a lot in recent years and branches have already broken off in high winds. Some of the branches threaten our house and others overhang the public footpath. The Exeter University arborist has viewed the tree and identified a small bit of ash die back. He has advised taking about 30% of the height and weight out of the tree. He felt that this would increase safety and better enable the tree to fight off ash dieback. To achieve the above selected branches would need to be shortened by 3-4 metres I am applying to get this work done.
