    T17 Alder fell due to the angle at which it is growing, the size interfering with telephone wire to the house. Several alder saplings growing adjacent to the tree T17 which had been growing vertically but have now started to grow at a slight angle to escape T17 shadow. The proposal is to keep the existing road facing samplings and trim to facilitate vertical growth to replace the felled tree. If felling is not permitted please could you confirm the trimming of T17 to allow for telephone wire to pass through the crown unimpeded

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Rossendale 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.
