Questions over felling of trees

PLYMOUTH residents have been sharing their thoughts on plans to fell mature trees from a Ministry of Defence site in Plymouth. The decision to axe the trees has sparked debate on environmental and community implications.

Seven of the "beautiful" mature trees are set to be chopped down at a military base in the centre of Plymouth. Planners said the loss of the trees was "regrettable" but nevertheless have given approval for them to be felled at the Regimental Training Wing building opposite the Royal Citadel.

Vivo, a company which manages assets for the Ministry of Defence, said it needs to cut down the huge lime trees in order for it to install a new security fence around the site at Hoe Road and Lambhay Hill.
