  10. No Objection23/03398/TCA

    3x Cherry - remove to ground level The trees were planted by the previous owner and were left unmanaged. They were planted too close to the party walls on either side of the gardens and the main branches and majority of the crown now overhang each neighbouring property. The trunks touch or rest against the party walls. Cracks had appeared in both party walls some time ago, but are now becoming too much of a concern, and it's been agreed with the neighbours to repair these before further damage is done. It is hoped this can be done before bad weather risks further damage or a collapse. A tree surgeon has surveyed the situation and neighbours have given access permission for the trees to be removed safely.

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Bath and North East Somerset 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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
