| Chunky - the trunk of one of the soon-to-be-felled trees |
AMID all the global clamour for trees to be planted to combat climate change, more of them are probably being felled than planted in North East Lincolnshire.
The latest set for the chop are a pair of mature Monterey Cypress trees to the rear of the Rose and Crown pub on Louth Road in Scartho.
Planning consent has this week been granted for their removal following a request from the pub's owner, Mitchell & Butlers.
It is understood they overshadow the amenity area used by the pub manager.
In a report recommending approval of the application, NELC trees officer Paul Chaplin states: "The request to fell the two Monterey cypress trees is not unreasonable in the circumstances.
"Whilst they can be seen above the roof line and can reasonably be described as a feature in the street scene, there is a reasonable alternative argument that they dominate the small private amenity area associated with the Rose and Crown as well as being a major influence on the amenity space to the rear of No.57 Louth Road."
Mr Chaplin further acknowledges that the threes have outgrown their location."
It is understood that the Montereys are likely be replaced with two young trees - a mountain ash and a silver birch.
