Planning application
71 The Drive Hove BN3 3PG
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Back Boundary Middle Tree T1 - Sycamore Fell as close to ground level as possible. Apply systemic herbicide to stump to prevent re-growth. The self-set tree's location is very close to a listed wall and is starting to cause minor damage. Tree also overhangs the car park to neighbouring property and is dropping small branches. By removing the tree would resolve both these issues.
