The presence of trees on or near a site necessitates the submission of detailed arboricultural information, beginning with a tree inspection in accordance with BS5837, as a prerequisite for registering planning applications.
Our tree surveys, which comply with BS5837, deliver an exhaustive report for inclusion with any planning application, serving homeowners, architects, and developers.

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
Clear and comprehensive tree protection plans accompany our arboricultural impact assessments and site specific method statements
These accurate drawings, which include the locations and dimensions of trees recommended for retention, are plotted directly onto the site plan using AutoCAD. Our Tree Protection Plans clearly indicate any potential conflicts between the trees and the proposed site layout.
Tree Protection Plans also include annotations that detail the necessary tree protection measures to be taken during construction. These measures can range from tree protection fencing to temporary ground protection, along with other site-specific protective actions.
A professional and clear Tree Protection Plan not only supports a planning application but also clarifies protection measures for contractors during the development's construction phase. The local planning authority may conduct site visits during construction to verify the implementation of tree protection measures. A well-defined Tree Protection Plan ensures that these visits are carried out smoothly and without issue.
A BS:5837:2012 compliant tree survey is the initial step for assessing trees in relation to development and planning. Information gathered during the initial survey is used to create a Tree Constraints Plan and provide developers with initial advice in regards to arboricultural conflicts.
An Arboricultural Impact Assessment is a key element of a planning application relating to a site that is close to, or contains trees. This assessment will evaluate the direct and indirect effects of the development and where necessary, provide appropriate mitigation recommendations.
A fundamental part of trees in relation to development, an Arboricultural Method Statement is written in conjunction with an Arboricultural Impact Assessment. This document details tree protection methodologies and sympathetic solutions required to protect trees at a development site.
