    EXTERNAL ILLUMINATION OF EXISTING PROJECTING SIGN BY FIXING OF O/H LIGHT TRAYS TO GIVE DIFFUSED DOWNLIGHT.

    5 - 9, ST NICHOLAS STREET, WORCESTER

    Received 16 Jun 1988
  2. Approval19/00802/CAN

    The application is to completely remove Yew Trees T1, T2, T3 trees marked in red on the plan out of Shooting Stars Nurseries garden. The Taxus Baccata Yew Trees are relatively small and are growing on the boundary edge of the nursery garden. The reason we are requesting them to be removed is because of the poisonous nature of the tree. We recently had a young child eat a berry from the Yew Tree and had to be admitted to hospital because of the poisonous seeds. By removing the trees we eliminate the risk of another child eating poisonous berries and a similar incident occurring again. The three trees will be replanted with Silver Birth trees.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
