5 Wordsworth Avenue - Old Goat Willow tree. All growth goes over neighbour's garden. The tree is approximately 4m from the back of the house pushing against the fence. I would like to bring it down to the level of the fence to promote new growth which I can then manage. Some of its branches are dead and in danger of fossilising. I have a tree surgeon coming on 26th May to carry out works on two further trees, and if possible, I would like to get this done at the same time. (Tr33 Ltd)

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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