Thanks for the update.

As likely the developers may wish to use the site, they will therefore require the permission of the City of London Corporation, I am certain that the Corporation will work with Islington Council, and the developers, to ensure that the trees are fully protected, along with safety notices to protect all, and upon completion the site will be returned to its previous condition, if not enhanced.

As part of the planning, I would personally insist that both Islington, and the City of London, request that the developers at their cost plant trees of suitable girth along Old Street, Golden Lane, Fann Street, and Aldersgate Street, taking into account turnings, access routes, safety, pavement widths and any other considerations, this will help to enhance the built environment for years to come, and go some way towards absorbing air pollutants.
