Planning application

Gainsborough House 4 - 6 Eaton Gardens Hove BN3 3UA

Granted Brighton and Hove BH2025/02042 Tree Works in Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 - Bay laurel - fell tree. Tree is causing structural damage to our boundary wall, and also to the roof and guttering of our neighbours garage block. Previous pruning has made no difference and damage has worsened. Tree also overhangs parking bays, and has low amenity value. We have recently planted 8 new cypress trees along the adjacent wall of our car park (T7 through T14 on plan) which more than replace this one tree and greatly improve the overall look of the grounds. T4 - Cherry - fall tree. Tree is unhealthy, including a significant cavity at its base and leans heavily towards a heavily used parking space. We believe it is in danger of falling, with damage to parked cars (or worse) if we have more strong winds next winter. We have already planted one replacement tree in a more suitable area (T6 on plan), and are considering one other replacements in the vicinity of T4 but closer to the lawn further back from the parking area.
