Planning application

Land adjacent 1 Mersham Gardens Southampton

Awaiting decision Southampton 26/00193/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

We have been instructed to clear the street column number 26 located along West End Road, Harefield Ward, SO18 6TX We need to trim the trees surrounding the column, at a 60 degree angle from the light head itself, so that light is able to reach the road below and maintain public safety. We will also need to clear the lighting head by 1m.

As published by the council, reference 26/00193/TPO
