Tree Safety Surveys & Reports
Liability tree reports helps tree owners and managers meet their legal obligation in regard to tree safety. Working to the National Tree Safety Group guidelines we can assist you in striking the right balance between tree risk management and the financial and environmental costs of tree work. See our Guide to Tree Safety Reports
BS5837:2012 Surveys & Reports
Typically a mandatory planning requirement where trees are present and representing the foundation of the ‘Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction’ framework. The initial development report details in writing the vegetation on site accompanied by a Tree Constraints Plan. See our Guide to BS5837 Surveys and Reports
Arboricultural Impact Assessments
Having taken into consideration the findings of the original BS5837 tree report a design proposal is then formulated. As your project arboriculturalist we will then assess the impact of your design and make recommendations to assist with the planning application. See our Guide to BS5837 Surveys and Reports
Arboricultural Method Statements
Once approved, the planning application will be conditioned requiring the details of any tree works, as well as protection measures for retained trees. The Arboricultural Method Statement will provide this information in a single document accompanied by a Tree Protection Plan. See our Guide to BS5837 Surveys and Reports
Tree Preservation Order Advice
Acting in contravention of a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is a legal offence. Similar protections also apply to most trees growing in Conservation Areas. Watson Lindsey Arboriculture can assist you in effectively managing such trees whilst staying on the right side of the law.
