    X2 Mature Ash (back garden and encroaching from Railway land) - Sympathetic 2m crown reduction to growth points, where possible, on the western crown of the trees. These self-set trees are now semi-mature specimens. They have not been managed for over 10 years and are now causing considerable shading and are increasingly dominant. Nothing is growing in the garden underneath, and the limbs are becoming overextended.The aim of the works is to ease loading and therefore reduce the risk of failure into the garden and seating area, and to improve light below.

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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