Fell 1no Yew (Tree does have some public amenity value and is a visable from a nearbye public footpath; However, the tree is not very old, less than 15yrs, and does very obviously create a small micro climate adjacent to the chapel window. To create a comfortable clearance between the tree and the building, a major proportion of the crown would need to be removed. Accordingly, this tree is not sustainable in the long term)
