    2 x Sycamore - Cut the entire tree to ground level The trees are causing issues with the boundary wall. The structural engineer has consistently recommended the removal of these trees, as they are likely the primary cause of the wall's partial collapse. Additionally, their continued growth is expected to cause damage to the new wall due to their proximity.
