Tree Removal Consultation, 46 Arthur Road N7 6DR

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 native maple tree (Acre campestre) situated outside 46 Arthur Road, 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 to resolve the issues were looked at. As part of that process the tree was crown reduced in 2023 to manage its water extraction potential but unfortunately this action had little effect on the soil movement.

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.
