  17. No Objection22/00036/CAN

    Fell x1Ash tree and treat the stump with eco plugs. Reasons for this notification: 1. The above tree works are proposed as a remedy to the differential foundation movement at the above address and to ensure the long-term stability of the building. 2. The above tree works are proposed to limit the extent and need for expensive and disruptive engineering repair works. 3. The above tree works are proposed to limit the duration of any claim period and, therefore, allow the landowner his right to the peaceful enjoyment of his property. 4. It is the case that an alternative to T11 Ash, such as pruning or significant pollarding of the trees, would not provide a reliable or sustainable remedy in this case. 5. We do not consider that any other potential means of mitigation, such as root barriers, would be effective or appropriate in the circumstances.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
