Planning application
8 Ventnor Villas Hove BN3 3DD
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Rear Garden T1 - Bay Remove cracked stem as low as can be safely cut. T2 - Cherry Remove 2 limbs leaning over car park area. - Bay has had a stem twist and fracture. Although the stem hasn't failed, it's only a matter of time. The requested works are to remove the failed stem only. - The dead cherry has a couple of dead limbs leaning towards and over the carpark adjacent. Client is happy to keep the tree for the most part as habitat but wishes to remove the potential risk of the 2 limbs falling over into the carpark. - Works would not be detrimental nor affect the amenity value of the area.
