PermittedBH2025/02208Submitted over a year agoTree works

7 Dean Court Road Rottingdean Brighton BN2 7DE

Sycamore tree growing over our house from 3 Challoners Close - reduce the overhanging branches by 2.0 to 3.0 metres. However, there are two (relatively thin and not major) branches which have grown over our property diagonally (across to our house and vertically) which are about 5 metres long. I would like to confirm that we will only replicate the work done previously on the Challoners Sycamore, mentioned in our application, and we will cut back this Sycamore only to the extent of when it was last trimmed, roughly a decade ago. This application is to remove branches which are growing over our property which are reducing light entering our property and particularly the dining room. The tree has not been trimmed for a decade. This was the case also with the adjoining Challoners sycamore which was cut back in May. In conversation with our tree surgeon, as used previously, we are proposing removal of the overhanging branches or about a 20% reduction. This application is identical to BH2025/00736 approved on 19th March 2025. Indeed, the trees are probably no more than about 3 metres apart. . Therefore, all the proposed works will be limited to our side of the boundary flint wall only.
