Tree WorksAug 2019During the high winds of the night of 9/10 August the Ash Tree sited in our garden (and subject to a TPO) was subject to severe damage. The tree has a split trunk at base - one of the two trunks (some 60ft high) has fallen into our garden causing severe damage to a trampoline, shed and adjacent established shrub (some 30ft high). It is also leaning on a summer house. The base of the remaining trunk was severely damaged by the fall and in imminent likelihood of falling itself. It's position is that should this happen it will fall into a neighbouring garden causing damage to fencing and landscaping. The tree is also within 15ft of another neighbouring house in Surrenden Close. The remaining trunk is also some 60ft high. Matt Jones / Brighton and Hove Tree Officer attended and inspected the tree this morning (12/8/19) and confirmed that the tree (both the fallen and unfallen parts) is dangerous in its current state and should be felled and completely removed as soon as possible to prevent further damage. We have reported the matter to our house insurance company, who would be willing to authorise completion of the work to fell and removed the damaged tree by an approved tree surgeon, but will not do so without prior approval by Brighton and Hove Council. it will be our intention to replace the tree (near to its current spot because of the extensive roots) with another standard ash or a birch tree.Decision
