Awaiting decision Islington P2024/3490/TRE Works application to tree with Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Lime x 9 (G1) – re-pollard back to previous most recent cuts (approx 1.5m off). False acacia (T2) - prune back to previous most recent cuts (approx 2m off). Cherry x 2 (T3, T4) - prune back to previous most recent cuts (approx 1.5m off). Mulberry (T5) – Reduce crown by 1m, to reduce loading on the extensively decayed base and get clearance from the building.
