    Oak & Norway Maple Tree - combined crown reduction and crown thinning operation, removing no more than 25-30% of the total canopy volume.Reduce outer over-extended branch lengths by up to 2.5 metres, cutting back to appropriate, viable growth points.

All pruning cuts will be made just outside the branch collar to prevent tearing and promote natural wound sealing.

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for South Downs National Park Authority, 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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
