Planning application
Waterside Basin Road Worcester WR5 3DA
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Six mature Liquidambar trees, identified as T1-T6 on the attached site plan. Proposed Works Crown reduce T1-T6 by approximately 25% through selective reduction of branch lengths to maintain a balanced natural form and shape. Maintain the existing crown clearance (canopy uplift) to approximately 2.5 metres above ground level by removing or pruning regrowth from lower branches. Remove any dead, damaged, diseased, rubbing or crossing branches identified during the works. Prune T6 branches encroaching towards the footway, carriageway and adjacent street lighting to provide and maintain suitable clearance from the highway and associated infrastructure
