Planning application

Martello Cottage Bramber Lane Seaford East Sussex BN25 1PY

Refused Lewes TW/21/0048/TPO Work to Trees (TPO)

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

I am applying to fell the tree to the ground. The tree is extremely dangerous having grown very tall and being in a wind tunnel from the sea winds. The tree overhangs a public park and the road (Crooked Lane) and footpath where school children walk every day to Seaford Head School from the town.

As published by the council, reference TW/21/0048/TPO
