Planning, mortgage & safety
Reports that stand up to scrutiny
If your site has trees on or near it, your local planning authority will almost certainly ask for a tree survey undertaken to British Standard BS5837:2012. We carry out comprehensive assessments covering tree plotting, measurement and categorisation from high-value to unsuitable for retention — including constraint plans, impact assessments, and protection documentation for retained trees during construction.
Mortgage lenders sometimes ask for an arboricultural report when trees stand close to a property, particularly where subsidence is a concern. Our surveys are carried out by qualified, experienced arborists — the same people who work with trees every day, not just behind a desk — delivering practical, compliant reports with a rapid local turnaround across the North West.
