    Root severance of TPO tree Oak x2 for installation of root barrier. The works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability to 2 Convent Avenue, South Kirkby, Pontefract, WF9 3NX. Granting permission will limit costs of alternative repairs. In the event of a refusal we, or our clients, will seek to secure compensation for the additional costs incurred through Section 202(e). It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturalist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree.

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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