Planning application

Flat 4 15 Buckingham Road Brighton BN1 3RH

Awaiting decision Brighton and Hove BH2026/00370 Tree Works in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 Sycamore- remove 3 epicormic stems at the base of the tree (approx diameter 10 cms each) Reduce central top height of the tree by 2 meters and reshape the crown all around. Reasons- the tree has not been worked on for some time and it is cutting out light at the back of the property and for other properties in the vicinity. It is a very tall tree for the confined space that it is in.

As published by the council, reference BH2026/00370
