Does anyone have any insights/experience of submitting a successful CGS application for planting a hedge?

Any information on species, ease of maintenance is also welcome.



The intention is to replace a run of fencing that consists of concrete posts and bolted on lengths of weathered planks with a visually appealing and eco-friendly hedge approx one metre in height and 15 metres long.

I have noticed that some of the nearby hedges have been planted around existing structures which are almost concealed by the vegetative growth. A cost consideration perhaps?


Thanks.

Thank goodness somebody is going in the "greener" eco-friendly direction!


Lately it has seemed to me that all around me is becoming a sterile wasteland with no consideration for birds or insects or other wildlife whatsoever, let alone for the wellness benefits of looking at green things rather than buildings and concrete.


Sorry I can't help re the application, but as regards species a mixed hedge (including flowers, berries and other seasonal interest) would be visually attractive and eco-friendly, however it does depend on where it is situated (eg hawthorn is nice, but as its name suggests, thorny! Also it might be hard to restrict it to a metre in height without constant maintenance).


Do you have a photo of the existing fence and its surroundings?


Good luck, and please update as as to how you get on!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
