  12. Determined2024/1689/TCA

    1no Japanese maple (Acer pamatum rubrum), 1no Holly (Ilex aquifolium) and 1no flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum). The Japanese maple is to undergo a minor crown lift to head height (1.8 metres) to allow the passage of people to use the paved and seating area beneath. In addition there are a number of minor crossing branches and a number of dead branches to be removed. The overall intention is to improve the viability and the safety of the tree as well as improving its appearance. Both the Holly and the Flowering Currant are incursions from planting very close to the boundary in the garden next door. The boundary wall is a retaining wall and the next door garden is on a much higher level. The intention is to remove all parts of the trees which are overhanging the applicants property on a perpendicular axis from the boundary line. As these trees are not fully mature the average size of the branches being removed is 25 millimetres or less.

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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