    Received 18 Mar 2021
  16. Decided - Withdrawn6/2021/2842/TPO

    T1-Oak. Fell due to presence of Pseudoinonotus dryadeus at the root collar. Timber integrity tested with a IML Resi PD400, and decay extent tested with a Fakopp Arborsonic 3D Acoustic tomograph, which showed the decay extent at ground level to be 58%. Given the height and location of the tree the tree should be removed on Health and Safety grounds. An extensive crown reduction/pollard is not recommended in this case, as the tree will ultimately fail and removal at the soonest time is advised. A 5 Day Notice has also been submitted to the council for the removal of the tree.

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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