Planning applications in Islington, March 2025

8, Flat 1, Middleton Grove, London, N7 9LU

I am the executor for the estate of the deceased owner of the flat. We are seeking permission to remove two trees which are highlighted in the attached photo from the street. The reason we believe this is necessary is that, as the photo from the garden shows, these trees are next to a brick perimeter wall. They are clearly damaging it and causing it to lean outwards, and it looks as if they will at some point destabilise it. I think they are some sort of cherry, but I hope you will be able to identify the species better than I can from the photos
