PL/2025/08265

Description

The 3m section of hedgerow was removed to facilitate a construction project undertaken by Wessex Water. The hedgerow was removed under consent reference: PL/2025/03656. This consent stated that the hedgerow would be replanted upon completion of the project.The land owners have requested that the hedgerow is not replanted as originally proposed. The section of hedgerow is positioned on the edge of the private driveway onto a 40mph highway. The landowners have advised that the permanent removal of this hedgerow will provide signficant visibility benefits when exiting the driveway with their vehicle. To compensate for the permanent loss of hedgerow, Wessex Water will replant an equivalent section of hedgerow within an existing gap where no hedgerow is present. This will be replanted in the upcoming planting season. Details of this are provided in documents submitted within this application.
