    T1 Sycamore - Fell to wall height and treat to prevent regrowth or remove if required. The tree is located between Ely Methodist Church and the neighbouring property at 7 Chapel Street. The tree is growing out of the boundary wall, and its roots are entwined with the old stone wall; it appears this has caused the wall's collapse. The tree requires removal for the wall to be reinstated.
