At a recent public meeting of the Forest Hill Society it was pointed out by members that there were concerns that the council was considering opening a new entrance to the park directly through the hedge, which has not been well maintained in parts. It is due to these concerns that the Executive recommended the inclusion of the hedge for local listing or TPO. I do not know the details of how this might restrict the sensible maintenance of a hedge, I hope it would encourage maintenance rather than prevent it, but I am sure the officers will make consideration of this before any form of protection is granted.

I would question the value of a conservation area without article 4 protection. I would not seek a heavy handed approach from the council, but I do think the council needs to have proper control over the conservation area if it is to be properly maintained and to be of any value. The problems of a conservation area without article 4 can be seen across the current conservation area.

The Forest Hill Society in our submission have not sought the 'consent' of every house that will be affected by our recommendations, and I am not sure that we need their consent to express our views, we have specifically said in our submission that 'we cannot claim to represent everybody in Forest Hill'. However, I have spoken to at least one resident who lives in each of the extension areas that we suggested could be included within the conservation area. All those I spoke to welcomed the idea of extending the conservation area to their area and were able to provide additional details to help with our submission.
