Will not have any impact on the runway declared distances, but, if the selected ones are the worst Type A Chart penetrating obstacles then their removal could further improve the increased take-off weights brought about by provision of the runway extension, ie more passengers or range. It would then be the proverbial icing on the cake.
Lets hope that any granted work allows for better take off weights!

It has been reported that the airport has had some rejections by Southampton council regarding Marhill Copse on trees that need lopping ,however its not clear if some trees have been granted to have limited work done?

The airports investment has already demonstrated an immediate effect as EZY has committed to 2 domestic routes, something that would never have happened pre-extension and remembering they entered SOU way back in 2017 (albeit EZS) with just one route. There is more to come!

Probably nothing to do with the extension. Winter 22/23 Ezy did some odd domestic routes as they had aircraft spare with less flying to Europe in the winter. It will be the same next winter. Don't hold your breath for the routes to operate next summer.

Seven trees at Marlhill Copse - owned by Southampton Airport - have been protected by Southampton City Council.
Late last year a planning inspector dismissed an appeal lodged by the airport after an application to fell 91 trees was rejected by the city council.
The fact that they wanted to fell 91 trees but can’t would suggest it will affect take off limits. If not why plan to do it? Now with preservation orders served this must be the icing on the cake for SOU

I did say "may", maybe I should have said "mañana" instead of "next week"?
It is coming - inshallah!
Totally agree on the updates thus far. After all the hype over the successful result of the protracted planning consent process and the production of the app, a totally underwhelming update process.

That all said, not the exciting additions to the app that I had come to understand may appear. Time will tell.

The daily echo says "Southampton Airport loses bid to work on trees at Copse" on Sunday,seems that airport needs to get this sorted out inline with the runway works.

Last year Southampton Airport lost at appeal their plans to fell 97 frees. Now seven trees have been protected by Southampton City Council with tree preservation orders. You would think this would have been sorted out before work started on the extension, as it is looking like those trees are going to reduce take off performance.

As previously mentioned, if any meaningful reduction of tree height in Marhill Copse is eventually possible this may further improve take-off performance, to use my term it would then be the icing on the cake - not the cake itself!
Trees --- as in, not cut down....
Not the best news I agree TCAS_FAN, for any Flight Planning prospectus for the future Ops of SOU, with, or even without the new extra runway length.
