    T1. Field Maple, we would like to remove this tree due to the trees health deteriorating. The stem of the tree is losing its bark around the main stem due to bad health. We would also like this tree removed as it is causing subsidence to the driveway and the neighboring fence.T2 Sycamore removal, this sycamore is in close proximity to the house causing distress for the owners as they are concerned about the damage to the building and the structural foundations due to the root system. This sycamore is also causing a lot of subsidence to the drive as it is lifting and damaging this drive itself. The owners of the property would like to have the driveway redone due to the damage, however the Maple and Sycamore are preventing this from happening. T3. Sycamore reduction, we would like to reduce this tree by 2.5 meters to help keep the tree to a suitable size to the area in which its growing in. This will help let more sunlight into the garden and house. We would also like to crown raise the tree as a lot of the lower branches are below head height on the public footpath below. We wish to crown raise the tree to 4 meters in height. T4. Sycamore reduction, we would also like the reduce this tree by 2.5 meters and crown raise by 4 meters due to the same reasons mentioned in (T3) above. T5. This is the small sycamore located between T3 and T4. We would also like to reduce this tree by 2.5 meters and crown raise to 4 meters to keep in line with the two trees beside.

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Lewes District Council, across all dates currently available. They are a partial dataset, rather than an authority-wide performance measure. The date range does not establish continuous historical coverage.
