Blue hedge, Durdar Road
In autumn 2012 a planning application was made for a new housing estate, on fields behind the hedge. It includes creation of an access road at this spot. Presumably the netting was installed in late winter, to stop birds nesting in the hedge. If planning permission is granted before the end of the breeding season, work can proceed without delay because the hedge should contain no active nests.
Information about the reasons for netting hedges can be found on these contractors websites: http://www.emec-ecology.co.uk/downloads/Hedgerow%20Netting%20Information.pdf and http://www.bird-proofing.com/hedgerow-netting.php .
