  Should be fine don't nuke too much of the roots, give it a big prune, water well...TLC for a few months to get it established.

  A bit risky at this time of the year, best to leave it until next winter, much more likely to survive in my opinion.

  I think your early enough, if you take plenty of soil with it (ie. don't nuke the roots)
  Sounds like they'd go to waste otherwise, so nothing lost.

  Yes, I would agree with that, but unfortunately with the building work in progress, and the extension creeping ever closer, that is not an option!

  Interestingly, in an extensive study done by Sydney University they saw absolutely no difference between pruned shrubs and plants and non pruned ones when they are out under extreme stress, the greatest difference was between the ones treated with seaweed and those simply fertilised, the seaweed ones all made full recoveries, many of the nitrogen fed ones struggled on for many years.
