Bunhill Fields Burial Ground, City Road, London

Awaiting decision Islington P2024/3370/TRE Tree Works Notification in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

T1 - Platanus x acerfolia - Fell due to 1. close proximity to neighbouring plane tree which is suppressing the growth of this tree, removal will give the neighbouring tree more room to develop. 2. Need to diversify slowly the species diversity across the site and allow for successional planting - this site is dominated by planes of a similar age. T3 Fraxinus excelsior 'Jaspidea' - Fell to Ground level T4 Tilia europea - Crown lift to 6m T5 Tilia europea - Crown lift to 6m T6 & T7 - Fraxinus, Fell and grind - both of these trees are showing symptoms of advanced ash die back.
