The hedgerow removal is required to provide access to a proposed underground stormwater storage tank. The stormwater storage tank will reduce the incidence of flooding and stormwater spills. Access is required for routine checks and maintenance. 12m of the hedgerow will require removal for construction access. Of this 12m, 4.5m will be reinstated following construction of the proposed storage tank, leading to a permanent net loss of 7.5m of hedgerow.
