Title: Greatham Creek hedge removal
Post by: A McLee on February 08, 2017, 09:05:59 AM
I suspect its removal is in anticipation of approval, by Stockton, for the planning application by the Environment Agency to re-align the sea defenses at Cowpen Marsh. Environmental practice is to remove potential nesting site prior to the start of the breeding season. A sea wall will be constructed parallel to the road. ( See pages 11 & 12 of April 2016 newsletter on the E A plan)

The significance of the embankment has been raised in the comments to Stockton Planning. All concerned should comment too.
Application ref 16/3186/FUL See SBC Planning website

Seems a bit late now. Hedge is gone, damage is done.
