Awaiting decision Islington P2025/0883/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

I want to trim the branches of my neighbour's tree that are touching my property and crossing my property's boundary. The tree hasn't been trimmed in over 16 years, and the branches are also causing damage to my conservatory.

As published by the council, reference P2025/0883/TRE
