Duty to consult

Under Section 115 of the Environment Act 2021, it is the Council’s obligation to consult members of the public regarding the removal of any street tree that is not dead and/or dangerous.

Proposal
Islington Council would like your feedback on the proposed removal of a birch tree situated outside 35 Battledean road N5 to mitigate an association with damage to property. Evidence has been supplied to the London Borough of Islington tree service that shows an association between the tree and property damages.

Alternative solutions

Alternative solutions were explored; the tree was crown-reduced in June 2024

Tree replacement

Dependent upon the outcome of this consultation our tree planting team will look for a suitable tree planting site as close to the original as possible.
