About this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Worcester is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.
Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

Driftwood 218 Hylton Road Worcester WR2 5LA
T1 – Cherry: Reduce back to previous pruning points and reshape the remaining crown to maintain a balanced and natural form. T2 & T3 – Birch (2 no.): Fell to ground level. T4 – Early-mature self-seeded Oak: Fell to ground level. Reason for Works : The overhead telecommunications line passes directly through the crowns of all four trees and is subject to ongoing conflict with their growth. BT/Openreach has previously undertaken works to tighten the line and advised that the trees require management to maintain adequate clearance from the infrastructure. In addition, the two birch trees (T2 and T3) are causing damage to the adjacent boundary fence and are likely to result in further displacement and deterioration if retained. The self-seeded oak (T4) is currently at an early-mature stage but has the potential to become a substantial tree. Given its proximity to the telecommunications line and the constraints of its location, it is likely to outgrow the available space and create increasing conflicts with both the overhead infrastructure and surrounding land uses. Removal at this stage is considered the most appropriate long-term management solution. The proposed works will resolve the existing conflict with the telecommunications line, prevent further damage to the boundary fence, and avoid the need for more extensive management works in the future.
