Dorothy Stringer School Loder Road Brighton BN1 6PZ

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: 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.

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...
