  9. Decided23/00340/TPO

    Turkey Oak - Given the size, reach and weight of the branch I feel that there is a significant likelihood that the branch will fail in the near future. Due to its proximity to the new property and the high foot fall directly underneath it I recommend that the limb be removed. This should also reduce the water ingress and slow the decline of the main trunk. There is a much smaller limb below it that would much improve the appearance of the tree if it was removed. Removing all the deadwood from the canopy. A crown reduction in the near future.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
