The Planning Dept. will post a notice (assume on the coppice or near to) to indicate that they have had an application, should also give details. Once this notice is posted you can write in to the Planning Dept. indicating your opposition to the application.(I think there is further information on HBC website) and if you find out when the application is to be put to the Planning Committee, go along there and sit in at the meeting, and possibly speak on behalf of the people opposing the application. From past experience, the Planning Committee only seem to rubber stamp the views and findings of the "Technical Officers" of HBC,the Chief Planning Officer. See the link below, it lists current planning applications.
