Planning application
BH2026/00260
20 Clifton Terrace Brighton BN1 3HA
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.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Brighton and Hove for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
