Councillors have suggested that broad-leaf trees should be planted to make up for 11 pine trees in Glasbury that will be chopped down.
Powys County Council’s Planning committee on Thursday, March 14, debated an application by Kasie Jenkins on behalf of the River Wye Activity Centre, Glasbury for the felling of four Corsican pine and seven Scots pine trees.
The application was in front of the committee after being “called in” by local member and council leader, Councillor James Gibson-Watt. Planning officer Richard Edwards said: “It’s not a requirement of this process however I would urge applicants to do that, but we can’t make them do it.”“I think it would be an ideal opportunity if we go ahead with taking these trees down that they should be replaced by a variety of native broad-leaf trees and perhaps a bit further from the wall than these are.”
