T1 Walnut - fell tree. The tree is unsuitable for location and will cause structural damage to the front wall in a few years. T2 Lime tree - establish pollard framework at approx 3-4m. Tree is a large growing species for the location. The tree is bifurcated at 1.5m and may in the future have structural issues and the tree puts on growth. The tree is of a semi-mature age and this species is suitable for managing as a pollard. An French pollard ornamental style would be considered if the branch growth would allow for this.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
