Planning application
6 Croft Road Brighton BN1 5JJ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 - Yew tree Location: Front garden Proposed works: Reduce height and radial spread by approximately 1-2 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points to retain a natural and balanced shape. Reason for works: General maintenance and to allow more light into the property. G1 - Group of 6 Yew trees Location: Along the south-facing garden boundary Proposed works: Reduce height by approximately 2 metres. The south-facing side of the trees will be cut back in line with the neighbouring property boundary, and the north-facing side will be trimmed and tidied as appropriate to maintain a natural appearance. Reason for works: General maintenance and to allow more light into the property. G2 - Group of 5 Yew trees Location: Along the north and east-facing garden boundary Proposed works: Reduce height by approximately 3 metres and radial spread by 1-2 metres. Reason for works: General maintenance and to allow more light into the property. One of these trees has partially uprooted but re-established, so a 3-metre reduction will help reduce weight and improve stability.

T1 - Yew: One yew tree located in the rear corner of the garden is to be lightly trimmed and reshaped as appropriate to maintain a balanced crown form and manageable size. G2 - Yew and Holly: All branches overhanging the property from two yew trees and one holly tree are to be pruned back to provide approximately 1-2m clearance between the dwelling and the tree crowns.
