1A Ship Street Gardens Brighton Brighton & Hove BN1 1AJ

Felling of the trunk of a Fig tree that is diseased with Root Knot Nematode. The Fig tree trunk leans very close the the boundary wall and has branches that extend across and over the boundary wall. The tree has caused many cracks in this wall resulting in the lifting of several garden stones. I am concerned over the house foundations being safe and the sewer than runs directly underneath may become blockaged as their roots are likely to get into them . The Fig lost one of its main limbs last year due to this disease and has more weight on one side than the other making it more susceptible to falling which could cause harm or damage if it were to fall. I have been advise by a tree surgeon that it would be best to cut the tree down and replant a new Fig sapling in a better location.

18 Hazeldene Meads Brighton Brighton & Hove BN1 5LR

1. There is a yew tree (T14) between our house at 18 Hazeldene Meads and the adjacent property at 16 Hazeldene Meads. It is now overgrown and is almost touching the two houses. We are concerned about the roots affecting the property at 16 Hazeldene Meads where the property was recently extended to become close to the boundary fence. At 18 Hazeldene Meads, it is affecting the light into our property and will encroach onto the roof and cause damage if allowed to grow. T14 Yew - Reduce in height by approx. 2m so that the top of the tree is at the same level as the adjacent gutter of 18 Hazeldene meads. Prune the sides of the tree to give 1m clearance of the properties on either side. T15 Silver Birch - Reduce the size of the crown by a maximum of 1.5m and remove dead wood.

11 Surrenden Close Brighton Brighton & Hove BN1 8EB

This large beech tree is on the boundary between my house (no11) and nos 6 and 7 Beechwood Close. It also spreads over my neighbours garden at 12 Surrenden Close. All 4 households would like the crown of the tree to be lifted and the size to be reduced as it is shading the gardens in Beechwood Close and blocking light from my property and is now very close to my house. I wish to apply to reduce the size of the crown by a maximum of 2-2.5m

11 East Drive Brighton BN2 0BQ

T1 - Pear Tree - 1m from kitchen door to be felled and roots ground out. The fruit falls on the decking which is a slip hazard. They also attract wasps. We have a young child and want the garden to be safe for him to play in. The tree is also too close to the house, its roots could damage the foundations and its trunk interupts and dominates the layout of the patio, thus it will not be repalced. T2 - Pear Tree - middle of the garden - to be felled. Fruit attracts wasps. The tree looks relay unhealthy and unsightly and will be replaced with a yet to be decided blossoming tree. T3- Bay Tree - Fell - close to southern boundary 2m from house. To allow for redesign of safe patio described for T1. A yet to be decided smaller tree will be planted at the rear boundary on the garden instead. T4 - Small Holly Tree - Fell - close to northern boundary. Thorny leaves unsafe for a child. North boundary is a hedge, tree removal will leave a small gap which will be filled with an appropriate bush. T5 - Holly Tree - Fell and grind out roots - close to southern boundary. Thorny leaves unsafe for child. The self set tree is overgrown, bocks light to rear garden which is consequently bare. Felled to allow flower and shrub planting at rear garden. No replacement. T6 - Fir Tree - trimmed back to boundary to allow light to penetrate the rear garden. Our neighbour is aware of this application and has given permission.

1A Ship Street Gardens Brighton Brighton & Hove BN1 1AJ

The work would be the removal of the crabapple tree to due the very close proximity to the boundary wall and to the house. The tree has caused many cracks in the wall and lifting of severalgarden stones. I am concerned over the house foundations being safe and the sewer than runs directly underneath may become blockaged as their roots are likely to get into them . . The tree is leaning into my neighbour's garden, it has more weight on one side than the other making it more susceptible to falling which could cause harm or damage if it were to fall. Dead branches snap and fall off frequently as it has been diagnosed with a fungal infection or a virus. There are often growths that I remove that resemble mushrooms which is a sign that the tree is infected and dying. I have been advise by a tree surgeon that it would be best to cut the tree down and replant a new sapling in a better location.
