  8. DecidedDC/26/03151

    Application for works to trees in a Conservation Area - (T1) Sycamore Fell the tree to as near ground level as reasonably practicable. Process and chip the resulting timber and branches where appropriate, removing all arisings from site. Treat the remaining stump using an appropriate herbicide application, such as EcoPlugs, to prevent regrowth. Reason for works: The tree has outgrown its available growing space and is considered unsuitable for its location. Visible signs of decay are also present within the canopy, raising concerns regarding its long-term condition and structural integrity. Removal is therefore recommended to prevent further deterioration and reduce the risk of future branch or tree failure.

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Babergh 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.

The approval percentage is approved records divided by approved plus refused records. Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded. No percentage is shown until there is an approved or refused record.
