Planning application

Longshore Church Road Bembridge Isle Of Wight PO35 5NA

Awaiting decision Isle of Wight 26/01270/TW

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Bay and Laurel bushes - Cut back overhanging branches and reduce the height of the main body of trees/bushes by upto 5m. The front 'face' of the screen will be reduced by up to 2-2.5m - some branches are very small and thin due to being crowded by adjoining growth and these will be removed in their entirety as they are only up to 10-20mm in diameter. Reason: The trees form a continuous hedge in effect with growth/limbs protruding and cutting across each other. None of the trees/bushes have been able to grow individually as they are all so intertwined. The intention is to reduce the height and overhanging, remove any very small growths to protect the long term health of the border.
