Planning application

Lake House Cuttinglye Road Crawley Down Crawley West Sussex RH10 4LR

Awaiting decision Mid Sussex DM/25/2688 High Hedges

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

1) Loss of light into home directly affecting energy bills and health impacts from lack of natural daylight. Hedge on southern border. 2) Lack of direct sunlight and natural light into garden which significantly reduces outdoor enjoyment and prevents plant and grass growth. 3) Substantial anxiety caused by size of trees and proximity to home. Risk of damage from trees in high winds. 4) Loss of natural light has material impact within the home on personal mood of occupants and increased seasonal disorder. 5) Loss of light has impacted working from home.
