    Three groups of ash trees affected by ash dieback in the crown. Trees are all approximately 10 metres in height. The top 2-5 metres show multiple dead / bare branches which have been worsening over the past five years. Plan to prevent damage to people and vehicles in Milford Lane which they are overhanging is to remove all branches of all seven trunks leaving five feet in height of the trunk in the hope that they will regrow without dieback. The above work was recommended after a visit from David Budd, tree surgeon of Budd Tree Services on 16/8/22.

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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