Reason for work: We have two very large yew trees (which appear as one) in our back garden growing close to our house. They are now as high as the house. They were last reduced in 2021, and we are applying to have them reduced again due to their dominance and their blocking a lot of light from the garden and lawn.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
