T1. Oak - Reduce crown by upto 2m. Current radius 9m leaving at 7m, current height 16m leaving at 14m. Prune to offer a clearance of up to 2m from properties. Crown lift to 6m from ground level. The tree situated in a small rear garden is growing increasingly close to the owners property and the neighbouring property. Due to the trees size in comparison to the size of the garden, the tree is causing excessive shading and creating a loss of enjoyment of the garden area. The reduction will not only increase light into the garden but will help manage the trees size and ensuring suitable clean races from the buildings.

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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