A TREE in danger of “inevitable collapse” can be felled, a council has agreed. 

Dr Paul Atwell asked Monmouthshire County Council for permission to fell the Scots Pine tree in the grounds of Chapel Orchard in Abergavenny. 

His application said it has been noted the tree’s lean has increased over the last six months and “a dangerous collapse of the tree is now considered an inevitability”. 

It was stated collapse of the tree would pose a danger to the public and a nearby road. 

The council has approved the application. 

CHEPSTOW Rugby Club has been given the go-ahead to place an aluminum welcome sign at the entrance to its Memorial Ground home. 

Its application was approved by Monmouthshire County Council’s delegated planning panel, which considered it as the land is owned by the council though there were no material planning objections.  

Planning officer Ryan Bentley wrote that the proposal would not result in any visual clutter that would be harmful to the amenity or character of the area and would assist visitors to the site

The sign won’t be illuminated and it will be placed outside the clubhouse where Lord Eldon Drive meets Burnt Barn Road.
