Planning application
106 Springfield Road Brighton BN1 6DE
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Dead oak tree, easily recognisable visually. Network Rail was contacted by a resident living near the tree. We had carried out site inspection with our vegetation contractor and would like to remove the tree as soon as possible. I was told by Iain Palmer that no report is needed for this tree as it is obviously dead. I have photos as evidence. The tree will be felled on our Network Rail land. New tree will not be replanted as this location is full of trees and will naturally have samplings growing. Location of the tree is W3W: normal.ample.repay. It is oposite house 104. However No. 106 has an extension to his garden along his and his neighbour's houses. It's like an allotment. I had to upload the same docuemnt twice as the system required 2 documents otherwise it would have not let me submit the application. Please please call me if there is an issue with this application before you reject it. Or Iain Palmer is also ok to be contacted if there are issues with this application. Thank you very much!
