Tree Condition Report:

A basic report detailing faults and observations on any number of trees. The report is supported with photographs and is ideal evidence to submit in support of an application to a local planning authority for works on trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order, planning condition or within a Conservation Area.

Management Plan:

Be it trees in a private garden or woodland, a management plan is an essential tool for determining both condition and potential of existing tree stock as well as being able to budget for likely future works. It focusses not only on safety but also amenity.

Appeal Report:

You may have already had a planning application refused due to trees, or perhaps had a failed application to carry out works on a tree protected by a Tree Preservation Order. Following an appraisal of the situation, a report can be prepared for submission to The Planning Inspectorate. Attendance at appeal hearings is part of the service offered.

Pre-design Arboricultural Report:

Following the decision to develop a site, it is prudent to assess the existing trees on the site and their future potential in accordance with British Standard 5837:2012. This report not only identifies the better trees on site but also provides guidance on the minimum likely clearances which the local planning authority are likely to require before they grant planning permission. Engineering solutions are also given where conventional construction methods will cause unacceptable damage to trees and their rooting systems. This information has proved invaluable both in minimising the need to redesign a site layout and also reducing the time taken for planners and Tree Officers to approve applications.

Development Arboricultural Report:

This report is designed to offer the developer all that they need to satisfy the local planning authority from a tree point of view in accordance with British Standard 5837:2012. It includes recommended tree protection measures, engineering solutions, replanting suggestions, etc. Liaison with planners and Tree Officers is part of the process and ensures that they too are satisfied with the outcome.

Large Tree Survey:

Where large numbers of trees need surveying, this is an ideal product. The results are entered onto a fully interactive Excel spreadsheet which is then given to the client. This highlights works priorities automatically as well as giving a clickable location plan with instant links to both the tree survey data and photographs taken on site. Hard copy prints can be sent out or a PDF file produced.

Tree Protection Plan:

The purpose of this report is to satisfy conditions of a planning permission which require full details of tree protection measures on a development site. It is not simply restricted to satisfying the planner though - it is a guidance document for the construction team and gives details including specifications for tree protection zones, site and task specific method statements and actions to follow in event of trees being damaged. Also included are site specific laminated site office posters and staff induction forms.
