Tree Surveys and Reports
Tree Survey and Report for Planning Applications​
If you are submitting a planning application and trees are located nearby, a BS 5837 tree survey is essential. This British Standard outlines the data required for inclusion in a tree report for development purposes.
Our expert tree surveyor will help you secure planning consent while minimising the impact on trees. High-quality documentation is critical in planning applications, so we encourage you to review samples before engaging a consultant. Visit our Documentation and Presentation page to download samples of our Tree Data Schedules, Tree Constraints Plans, and Arboricultural Method Statements.
For further information about BS 5837 surveys and other planning-related reports, please visit our Tree Surveys for Planning page.
Tree Condition Survey and Report for Safety​
If you’re concerned about the condition of trees on your property, we can provide a tree condition survey to address safety and management needs. Our qualified tree surveyor will assess each tree for defects, disease, and potential risks. The resulting tree report will outline recommended actions to reduce risks to an acceptable level, ensuring peace of mind.
For more information about this service, visit our Tree Condition Survey page.
Pre-Purchase Tree Survey and Report
If you are buying or selling a property, a pre-purchase tree survey ensures any potential risks posed by trees are identified. This includes evaluating trees within influencing distance to address concerns such as tree failure. Your tree report will recommend steps to manage and mitigate risks effectively.
To learn more about this service, please select the Pre-Purchase Tree Survey page from our menu.
Tree Preservation Orders
Local authorities can create Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act to protect trees, groups of trees, or woodlands from unauthorised removal or pruning. TPOs preserve trees that contribute to the amenity of the area.
If you need advice on obtaining or opposing a TPO, our arboricultural consultants can assist. For more details, visit the Tree Preservation Orders page in our menu.
