Planning application
26/00784/TRE
Methodist Church 15 Chapel Street Ely Cambridgeshire CB6 1AD
Proposal
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.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with East Cambridgeshire for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
