  55 Highbury Hill, London, N5 1SU

  T1: Weeping birch: Fell to ground level to allow more light into the garden to plant up flower beds (see photographs attached). Tree is 4m tall with a 10-15cm girth. There will be no impact to the conservation area as there is a very large tree beside which dominates the garden. There will not be a tree replanted as we want the new shrubs in the beds to have more light.
