Planning application
26 York Villas Brighton BN1 3TS
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 - False Acacia (Robinia), located in the front garden of 26 York Villas I am applying for permission to reduce the crown by approximately 2-3 metres, pruning back to previous points to retain the tree's natural shape and form. Branches in contact with the neighbouring building will be removed to provide a clearance of approximately 3 metres, preventing damage and obstruction. Several smaller lower limbs will also be removed to raise the canopy and allow more light into the garden. Reason for works: Ongoing general maintenance and to keep the tree in good condition and appearance.
