    T1 - Sycamore - remove major deadwood from crown (exempt), reduce/thin out branches with major damage/squirrel damage to reduce likelihood of failure, crown lift lowest branches to give clearance to approx 5m. The tree has had recent branch failures, it appears the damage has occurred as a result of squirrel damage. The reduction will involve selected branch removal and reduction of damaged sections. The aim is that the pruning will not effect the overall shape of the crown. Work to be carried out to BS 3998. Happy to meet the TO to discuss. T Murray. M.Arbor.A FdSc Arboriculture

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
