Civic chiefs refused to approve plans to fell trees at Marlhill Copse. It comes as previous plans to fell trees at the site proved controversial and a decision to fell trees in May 2020 was quashed by the High Court - although the work was subsequently approved as some trees were deemed unsafe. As reported, Southampton Airport - which owns the land- tabled new plans to fell an extra 116 trees. But after a long debate, members of the Planning and Rights of Way Panel at Southampton City Council, decided to refuse the proposals. It comes as civic chiefs said they believed this would have an impact on the woodland character of the area.
