We are delighted to hear that Havant Borough Council have supported the decision of the Planning Inspectorate and have again reconfirmed their decision against over-development and have now refused both  planning applications 08/65331/004 and 08/65331/005.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone who has written in to Havant Borough Council objecting to these planning applications which would have irrevocably damaged our Island.

Thank you, your support really is appreciated.

9 July 2008 - We have now heard than planning application 08/65331/004  has been refused by Havant Borough Council.

Yet Another Planning Application updated 16 June 2008 We are now aware of a further planning application that Pullingers Furnishers of Hayling Island have submitted that will again require the destruction of trees protected by Tree Preservation Orders in a scheme that has not addressed the findings of the Government Planning Inspectorate.

You may view the planning application here: ==> 08/65331/004
 

Suggested grounds for objection are here:==>  Residents Newsletter as a word file  Residents Newsletter as a pdf file.

Even if you have previously written in to object to an earlier planning application, that doesn't count and we would ask if you could write in an again to object to these proposals with the objections received by Havant Borough Council by 25 June 2008.

Objections may also by emailed to planning.development@havant.gov.uk  and the email should include the planning application number 08/65331/004.  Please also read the Residents Newsletter that is being delivered between 17-20 June 2008.

Summary

You may have been re-directed here from another web site, if so, please read on.

This website is devoted to ensuring that any development in and around St Catherines Road, Hayling Island is performed in a considerate and sensitive manner.  This website is named Maytrees since there are so many may trees in this area, but also because of the very fine specimen in No 40 St Catherines Road.  In fact No 40 is called "Maytree Cottage" in recognition of the tree in the rear garden. 

Regretfully, Pullingers (Furnishers) Ltd (Pullingers) of Hayling Island need this beautiful May tree and other trees that are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) felled for their speculative over-intensive development application.  We are looking for your support, as a reader of this page to object to this development application.  Once you have been through this web site, please visit the What You Can Do page.

Pullingers have (February 2007) lodged an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate to overturn the decision by Havant Borough Council to refuse permission for this over-development.  The closing date date for submissions has now passed, but we would appreciate your support in writing to the two directors of Pullingers to make your views known on their proposals. Please see the What You Can Do page.  Thank you. 

Please note that if you were directed here while searching for Pullingers Leisure Vehicles who are based in North Essex and who specialise in new and used motor caravans, please click here.  We have no dispute with this company and this site has no connection with them..
