   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 16 April 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Brighton and Hove took a median of 63 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Brighton and Hove for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Brighton and Hove decided prior approval applications in a median of 42 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

Prior approval applies where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, leaving the council only the specific matters the rules name, commonly within 56 days. More in our guide to planning application types.

  Horsechestnut- Reduce in height by approx 1.5m. Prune back radial crown extending towards house by approx 1.5-2m. Prune back remainder of crown by approx 1.3=5m to balance and shape. Remove trunk growth. REASON: The elderly lady owner doesn't get much sunlight to sit outside and enjoy the warmth so this spec will hopefully allow more light into rear patio

  Tree 1 - Sycamore (Tree No. 1): Fell to ground level. Reason: Small self-seeded tree adjacent to a post/column with branches growing into overhead telephone lines, creating ongoing conflict and safety risk. Tree 2 - Flowering Cherry (Tree No. 2, Tag 884): Fell to ground level. Reason: Tree in significant, immediate, and irreversible decline with basal decay; proximity to fencing and pedestrian areas presents a risk of failure. Tree 3 - Sycamore (Tree No. 3, Tag 861): Pollard to approximately 9m. Reason: Tree leans towards astroturf pitch and has a bifurcated stem with a cavity in the lower trunk. Pollarding will reduce loading and manage structural risk while retaining the tree. Tree 4 - Flowering Cherry (Tree No. 4, Tag 871): Fell to ground level. Reason: Heavily ivy-covered tree with significant basal decay adjacent to boundary fencing, presenting a foreseeable risk of failure. Ivy removal to adjacent trees excluded at client request. Tree 5 - Pissard's Plum (Tree No. 5): Re-coppice to approximately 1m. Reason: Multi-stemmed tree close to buildings and shelter, with branches in contact with structures. Works will reduce risk and allow controlled regrowth. Tree 6 - Field Maple (Tree No. 6): Selective reduction up to 1m on west side only. Reason: Young tree adjacent to a lamp column; pruning required to prevent contact and future conflict while maintaining a balanced crown. Tree 7 - Ash (Tree No. 7, Tag 886): Fell to ground level. Reason: Visible crack at base of trunk indicating structural weakness. Proximity to fencing and site use presents an unacceptable safety risk. Tree 8 - Horse Chestnut (Tree No. 8, Tag 888): Fell to ground level and remove timber. Reason: Dead standing tree located adjacent to main entrance and nearby residential property; removal required due to high-risk location. Tree 9 - Sycamore (Tree No. 9, Tag 62): Fell to ground level. Reason: Tree in overall decline with historic trunk damage, major deadwood, and structural weakn...
