Planning

We provide market leading professional tree reports to BS 5837:2012 Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction – Recommendations.  These surveys are used to enable clients such as Local Council Planning Services, architects, property developers and homeowners to better assess or support planning applications and permissions.  Using our comprehensive knowledge of the planning and development sectors, both public and private, we provide visually engaging, accessible and intuitive reports, which can be used alongside accurate design drawings.

Health and safety

We can provide professional health and safety assessments of trees and tree populations enabling our clients to understand and manage any risk to and from their tree stocks.  These assessments can be customised to the needs of any client and situation.  Identification of any legal obligation with regards to Tree Preservation Orders (TPO), conservation areas, felling licenses and planning conditions is also provided as standard.

Home owners’ advice

We can provide assessments of trees on properties for both home owner and prospective buyer.  It is often advised by lenders to have a tree survey carried out by a qualified arboricultural surveyor before purchase of a new home.  We can make recommendations in order to ensure that lending concerns are dealt with swiftly so the house purchase may proceed smoothly.

Even if you’re not in the market for a new home, we are always available to assess the health and condition of your existing trees.  We offer straightforward advice and are not afraid to say when no remedial work is necessary.  Our survey reports can also be used as reference in cases where work is required but the trees are covered under a TPO.
