    Received 5 Oct 2000
  8. APPROVAL (TREES)T17G0079

    Group 3 of the TPO T1- Oak lift the crown to 5.2 m as a highway problem T2- Cypress - fell as area overcrowded causing trees to be unbalanced as not enough light and space. Also showing signs of decline with a great deal of dead wood. T3 - Beech lift to 3m and prune away from road sign allowing better visibility both for motorists and pedestrians. Group 4 T4 - Yew Fell again because the area is overcrowded and causing poor growth. T5 - Lift to the height of the purple plum to enable the plum to aid this specimen tree to grow better. T6 - Purple Plum may need a heavy branch shortened when the Cypress crown if lifted as it is resting on another branch. T7 - Holly - Fell again due to overcrowding and it will not change the amenity value and will benefit the surrounding trees. T8 - Cypress. This tree is in very close proximity to my house. It has been topped by previous owners leaving it prone to fail so it would be prudent to remove it. I am happy to restock with much more suitable trees where trees have been felled. Possibly Amelanchier, Malus or Prunus I do not feel that these works will have a negative impact on the area. In fact it should improve the look.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
