    Holly - Reduce the height of the tree, located in the rear garden of the property, to a maximum of 50% and reshape. This reason for this amount of reduction is for the following reasons: 1. The crown has grown through and around a number of BT lines that connect to the owner's and neighbouring properties. 2. The tree in question is quite substantial for a small garden and a reasonable reduction would be more aesthetically pleasing for the owner and neighbours. 3. Due to the trees restricted access, any waste must be transited through the living quarters or passed through neighbouring properties for disposal, therefore a reasonable reduction would require less maintenance in the future.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
