Berkeley Homes plans to fell a tree near The Happy Man pub as part of The Woodberry Down Estate regeneration, which will see more than 5,500 new homes, community facilities and public spaces built on the site. The plans hit headlines this summer when protesters decided to 'occupy’ the tree and block the project.
