Manor Park School, Turnpike Close, WR2 6AB
Received 15 Jan 1998
Approval19/00487/TPOA
Oak. Tree to be dead wooded, crowned and cut back as much possible all the way round by at least 4 feet. Tree to be evened up, as one side is very lop sided due to works only be being auctioned on one side in previous years. The tree is getting too big, it causes sever shading to the houses, it's too close to the house, it's causing the groun to become uneven and paths are starting to lift. I would prefer to have the tree fell and would consider a less invasive tree replanted if this was something we could discuss.

What these statistics cover

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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