    T1 - Ash tree - FellReason - The tree stands inside garden veranda and branches overhang the garden office. It is overshadowed by two other trees that are very close, an ashleaf maple (T2, trunk about 1m from T1) and a walnut (T3, trunk about 4m).

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Cambridge City 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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
