  10. Approved1981/26/TCA

    T1: Beech - Crown lift to 4.5m above ground level and lateral reduction to primary limbs over gravestones that are regularly visited, by a maximum of 2.5m of branch length by the removal of branches directly overhanging and touching said gravestones. There has been further branch drop this week that landed on top of a row of gravestones that are actively visited. There is one overhanging bow that has already split and we believe poses risk to life and limb should it shed whilst people are present, let alone damage the gravestones. This work was previously reported by a qualified tree surgeon.

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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