Planning application
49 Selborne Road Hove BN3 3AL
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1- Mulberry: Reduce in height by approximately 50%, cutting back to suitable pollard points to achieve a finished height of around 4 metres. All deadwood will be removed. The works are proposed because the tree has outgrown the small courtyard garden, and reducing it back to pollard points will make it more manageable for future maintenance while allowing it to be retained at a suitable height.
