    Remove trees T1,T2,T3,T4 which are self seeding plum trees of no amenity value and have grown thin in search of light. We will cut back hedges Aand B which are overgrown with ivy and have strangled the Hawthorns H1, H2,H3,H4,H5 and H6. Hedges Aand B and Hawthorns will be cut to a height not less than 8 feet. This will improve health and allow for planting of new Hawthorns along hedges A and B as required. W1 is a willow tree over our boundary Hedge C and has grown two branches being branch B1 and B2 over into our garden. We want to remove these overgrown branches. Tree W2 is a Holme Oak which has got too big, is shading other trees as needs cutting back. We will reduce the height and canopy of this tree by 1.5 metres, to allow more light.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
