The request was partially successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Under freedom of information legislation, I am seeking the following information:

I require this information broken down by years and how many had preservation orders on them or were classed as exceptional due to age, size of historical significance.

Also during the same period how many trees have been planted - again broken down by years.
