Trees and development
Providing BS5837 inspections and reports involves conducting an assessment of trees and vegetation on a site to determine their impact on any proposed development. As a company, we can provide comprehensive tree surveys and documents as part of the planning process.
- Tree constraints advice and plans
- Tree surveys
- Arboricultural impact assessments
- Tree work specification
- Tree protection plans
- Arboricultural method statements
Overall, a BS5837 inspection and report is an essential component of the planning process, ensuring that any development takes into account the impact on the environment and maintains the health and wellbeing of existing trees and vegetation.
Tree constraints plan: This document shows the extent of the root protection area (RPA) and canopy spread of each tree, and any areas where development is constrained due to the presence of trees. The tree constraints plan can help to identify potential development options that minimize impacts on the trees.
Tree survey: A detailed survey of the site and its trees is essential to assess the condition, age, and health of the trees, as well as their potential impacts on the development proposal.
Arboricultural impact assessment (AIA): An AIA is a report that assesses the potential impact of the development on the trees on the site, taking into account factors such as the extent of the proposed development, the proximity of the trees to the development, and the potential damage to the trees' roots and canopy.
Tree works specification: If any tree works are required as part of the development, a detailed specification of the works should be provided. This should include the type and extent of works.
Tree protection plan (TPP): The TPP sets out the measures that will be taken to protect the trees during the construction process, including the location and type of protective fencing, access routes for construction vehicles, and the location of any temporary structures.
Arboricultural method statement (AMS): The AMS provides details of the measures that will be taken to protect the trees during the development process, including the use of protective fencing, root protection measures, and pruning techniques.
These documents should be prepared by a qualified arboriculturist and submitted as part of a planning application in accordance with BS 5837.
