- Dorothy Stringer School Loder Road Brighton BN1 6PZAwaiting decisionT1 - Ash: Remove crown, leaving the stem as a monolith at approximately 4-5m high. Reason for work: The ash stands on the boundary between Dorothy Stringer School and 7 Varndean Holt. Decay has entered the main stem, likely starting from squirrel damage, and has formed a large cavity that is weakening the tree's structure. Given its position beside a residential garden and within a school site, failure could cause harm to people or property. Reducing the tree to a 4m monolith removes the weight and wind loading from the weakened stem, while the retained stem will provide valuable standing deadwood habitat for wildlife.Received 2 Nov 2026BH2026/02449
