bS 5837 Tree Surveys.

Tree Survey & Data Collection

We visit your site to assess all trees that may be affected by development. Each tree is recorded with key details such as species, size, condition, and life expectancy, following BS5837:2012 standards.
We also map tree locations accurately to form the foundation of the project.

Tree Constraints & Impact Assessment

Using the survey data, we identify important factors like Root Protection Areas (RPAs) and canopy spreads.
We then assess how your proposed development could impact trees and highlight any constraints or risks, helping avoid costly issues later.

Planning Support & Reports

We produce clear, professional reports and tree protection plans required for planning applications.
This includes guidance on how to protect trees during construction and ensure compliance with local authority requirements.

Arboricultural Impact Assessments

(AIA)

Review of Survey & Development Plans

We analyse your existing BS5837 tree survey alongside proposed site plans.
This allows us to understand how the development layout interacts with trees and identify any potential conflicts early on.

Impact Assessment & Design Guidance

We assess how construction will affect trees, including impacts on Root Protection Areas (RPAs), canopies, and overall tree health.
Where needed, we provide practical design recommendations to reduce impact and help retain valuable trees.

Mitigation Strategy & Reporting

We produce a detailed Arboricultural Impact Assessment report outlining tree losses, protection measures, and mitigation strategies.
This supports your planning application and ensures compliance with local authority requirements.

Arboricultural Method Statement

(AMS)

Review of Constraints & Project Details

We review the tree survey, AIA, and final development plans to understand all site constraints.
This ensures we identify exactly where trees need protection and how construction activities may interact with them.

Protection Measures & Construction Methodology

We design practical tree protection measures, including protective fencing, ground protection, and special construction techniques.
This step outlines how work can proceed safely within or near Root Protection Areas (RPAs).

Site Monitoring & Compliance Guidance

We produce a detailed Arboricultural Method Statement outlining all protection measures and site procedures.
This document ensures contractors follow best practices and helps maintain compliance throughout the construction phase.
