    TPO 17/10 The tree in the bottom left of my garden (Tree 1 on plan) has been recommended to have some crown thinning of approximately 30%. I have also been advised to raise the crown by approximately 1m. Thtree in the bottom right (Tree 2 on plan) also requires thinning of approximately 30% and to raise the crown by approximately 1m. This tree had some previous work in 2013 which included the installation ofa strap for one weak limb. This limb is over another property and is causing concern. It's been recommended to now have this limb removed, this will protect the tree and the property.

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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