Overview

The Council is consulting on whether to allow a local volunteer group, Tree Friends Hampton, to establish a small orchard within Beveree Nature Conservation Site.  The group would carry out all the required works with minimal support from the Council where appropriate.

Please see the attached site map highlighting the position of the proposed orchard and also the initial planting plan from Tree Friends Hampton. There are more details on the types of trees they are proposing within the survey that follows.

This public consultation is part of the initial phase of involving the local community in this project. Should there be support for the orchard, Tree Friends Hampton would like to actively encourage members of the community to participate in this project with a view to the future, establishing a regular maintenance schedule. 

Please see the attached documents and complete the short survey.
