No creeping development of this beautiful Bembridge copse | Isle of Wight County Press

I am writing to you on behalf of many Bembridge residents to express our dismay following the sale of a piece of woodland in Love Lane to a property developer some four months ago. This strip of woodland, known as Love Lane Copse, has lain undisturbed for over 20 years and is a natural habitat of red squirrels, badgers and nesting birds, plus offering a tranquil place past which pedestrians, children, dog walkers, cyclists and horse riders go regularly. Love Lane forms part of the Coastal Footpath and at high tide is the only way round that part of the coast.

Almost 20 protected trees in Pennington set to be felled

Plans to fell protected trees at Lower Pennington Lane, Pennington, have been approved. Picture: Google Streetview. PLANS to fell a belt of protected trees lining a New Forest road have been approved - despite more than 60 objections to the scheme. The trees, many of which are up to 100 years old, are next to a site earmarked for development in the recently-approved New Forest District Council Local Plan. Up to 100 homes will be built beside Oakhaven Hospice in Lower Pennington Lane, Pennington, if any proposals to redevelop the site are submitted and approved. Pennington councillor Andrew Gossage objected to the proposed felling of the 19 trees, claiming they were being axed to make way for a new access.

Almost 20 protected trees at Pennington set to be felled

Fellow councillor Jacqui England described the application to remove the trees as excessive and unnecessary . The council received 64 other objections, including two from the Lymington Society and the Pennington and Lymington Lanes Society (PALLS). But council officers said the trees were potentially dangerous and should be taken down, despite being covered by a Woodland Tree Preservation Order. Members of the planning committee approved proposals to fell ten Monterey pines and five Monterey cypress trees, plus an oak, elm and horse chestnut. A report to councillors said the trees were highly prominent in Lower Pennington Lane and their removal would have a significant impact on the area.
