Planning application
Land adjacent 1 Mersham Gardens Southampton
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.
