As reported, decisions on the airport's 'Woodland Management Plan' [pdf] had been expected earlier in January but have been pushed back. 

The officer's report to next week's Planning and Rights of Way Panel meeting is here [pdf].

The airport previously said it was "looking to consolidate all comments against TPO [planning application] reference 20/00340", where several comments have been made.

The meeting is also due to consider another application "from an agent acting on behalf of the Gregg School" to fell one Monterey Pine and two Norway Maples, which are "located within Marlhill Copse", according to the officer's report on that application.

The planning meeting is scheduled .

• The airport has just submitted an "Environmental Statement and Environmental Statement Addendum" to its runway extension application to Eastleigh Borough Council, so those plans are again open for comment for 30 days.
