Awaiting decision Brighton and Hove BH2026/00260 Tree Works in Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Please Refer to attached sketch plan: T1 Elm : Cut back branches on the south side of the tree to the boundary wall (approximately 2m), removing only secondary branches to keep wound size to a minimum. The reason for the proposed work is to provide sufficient clearance to the neighbouring flats, prevent Squirrels getting into the flats and to allow more light to the flats. To view the tree please contact Sue Rubinstine of 20 Clifton Terrace. Details are found in the trees ownership section.

As published by the council, reference BH2026/00260
