Planning application
BH2025/02002
69 Dyke Road Avenue Hove BN3 6DA
Proposal
T1 Macrocarpa Cypress is located at the front of the property. The tree exhibits a dense upper canopy, increasing susceptibility to wind loading and presenting a potential safety hazard, particularly given the presence of a public footpath beneath and an adjacent busy main road. Deadwood is also present within the crown. It is proposed that T1 be reduced by 1-2 metres where appropriate, or back to suitable growth points, and that all deadwood be removed.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
