Awaiting decision Islington P2025/2614/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

Hi, My Clients would like to Re-pollard 2x London Plane trees (T1 + T2) and 1x Lime tree (T3) back to previous pollard points, removing an estimated 3m re-growth. The reason for the works is to maintain the trees size in relation to the space, as they in the small front garden of the property only a few metres from the building. We would be aiming to do this work during the winter pollarding season.

As published by the council, reference P2025/2614/TRE
