T1 - Yew: Located in the rear garden on the north boundary, reduce the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5metres to provide a smaller formalised canopy and crown lift by removing lower branches up to a height of 3m. Tree is in close proximity to the owners house, and overhangs the neighbours garden, causing excessive shading and is becoming overbearing for both parties. There are concerns about size and potential root structure damage to gardens and buildings as it matures. Request permission to reduce the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5metres to provide a smaller formalised canopy and crown lift by removing lower branches up to a height of 3m, to reduce encroachment onto owners house and over neighbours garden, to provide more light into both gardens, and to help manage root structure size.

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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