Coppice is a crop, it gets harvested and regrows.
As I understood it over the course of my career it’s common to observe the tree/area for a few days to see if anything is indeed nesting. In London it’s not uncommon for arborists to move nests to adjacent trees before felling starts.
But yeah, banging a load of trees in a bluebell wood might look extreme if you don’t know all the details...
