Why you might need a tree survey
Planning Permission
Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs)
Health and Safety
Our tree survey assesses potential risks posed by trees, including dead or damaged branches, unstable roots or tree decay. Identifying these hazards helps prevent accidents, protecting people, property, and ensure the area remains safe and functional for people to use.
Development and Construction
A tree survey in accordance with BS5837 ensures trees are considered during construction with the use of an arboriculture impact statement (AIA), preventing damage from groundwork machinery or building activities. It supports compliance with planning regulations and helps maintain environmental sustainability by preserving important natural assets on-site.
Landscaping and Arboricultural Management
SURVEY EXPERIENCE
FOR CLIENTS
Why are tree surveys important
Tree surveys are essential for assessing the condition, species, and location of trees in a specific area, ensuring they are managed responsibly. They play a crucial role in planning permission, helping developers comply with local authority requirements by evaluating the impact of construction on existing trees.
Tree surveys also identify trees protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs), ensuring legal compliance. From a safety perspective, they highlight potential risks, such as dead, dying or dangerous trees. Additionally, tree surveys aid in environmental conservation, supporting biodiversity and sustainable land use. They are vital for informed decision-making in construction, landscaping and arboricultural management.
What is BS5837
BS5837 is the British Standard for “Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition, and Construction,” providing guidelines for managing trees during development projects. It outlines a framework to assess the impact of proposed developments on existing trees, ensuring their protection and integration into site plans.
The standard includes procedures for tree surveys, categorising trees based on their value, and creating Tree Protection Plans (TPPs) to prevent damage during construction. BS5837 is crucial for complying with planning regulations, safeguarding biodiversity, and promoting sustainable development. Adhering to this standard helps balance development needs with the preservation of valuable trees.
What are TPOs
Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) are legal protections placed on trees by London local authorities in the UK to safeguard their health and prevent unauthorised removal, cutting, or damage. TPOs are typically applied to trees of significant environmental, historical, or aesthetic value, either individually or as part of a group.
Landowners must obtain written permission from the council before carrying out any work on trees covered by a TPO. This protection helps maintain biodiversity, enhance local landscapes, and combat climate change. Breaching a TPO can result in fines or legal action, making it vital to check for TPOs before undertaking tree work.
