BS 5837:2012 Surveys & Reports for Planning

Our consultancy team use advanced surveying techniques and digital recording systems to efficiently carry out tree surveys to BS5837. Our preliminary reports give detailed tree information relating to the existing site and how suitable trees can be incorporated into the development layout.

An Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) assesses how trees will be affected by planned development. We provide clear reporting and a Tree Impacts Plan to demonstrate how higher value trees can be successfully retained within a proposed design layout, and provide mitigation objectives for the removal of less suitable trees.

An Arboricultural Method Statement (AMS) details how retained trees will be protected throughout construction. We present this Information in a clear and unambiguous manner which is highly detailed with the specifics of each site. Guidance and tree friendly methodologies are given for any operations close to retained trees.

We can provide specialist on site advice and supervision to ensure any issues relating to trees are suitably resolved, and any planning conditions relating to trees are successfully discharged. We understand that site conditions often mean a creative solution is needed. We are experienced in offering tailored solutions to resolve all manner of potential issues.
