Arboricultural consultancy
is all about expert advice on the management and care of trees, especially in relation to construction, safety, and long-term health. Whether you're a homeowner, land owner or developer a professional tree consultant provides crucial insights into how trees interact with their environment—above and below ground. This includes assessing tree health, diagnosing potential hazards, and ensuring that legal obligations such as Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and planning regulations are met.
Having an arboricultural consultant involved early in a project can prevent costly delays, protect valuable trees, and ensure compliance with British Standards (such as BS:5837 for trees in relation to design, demolition, and construction). Consultancy plays a vital role in sustainable development, offering practical solutions that balance environmental responsibility with human needs. From tree condition reports and risk assessments to long-term management plans, consultancy helps clients make informed, responsible decisions about the trees on their land.
Tree Condition Report
Regular inspections are crucial for trees situated in or near heavily frequented areas to guarantee their health and safety. Our team conducts comprehensive tree condition reports to minimise potential risks to individuals and property. By promptly identifying any existing concerns, we can offer suitable recommendations for timely remedial actions. This proactive approach ensures the prompt resolution of issues and maintains a secure environment for everyone.
Site Surveys
If you're a site manager, in the midst of a developer handover, or simply need to maintain your property. We conduct thorough and detailed assessments of the tree stock, providing you with essential information. Through mapping and creating a handy table, we compile basic details about the trees, including any recommended works that might be needed. This not only ensures a more efficient and effective future management plan but also saves you time and effort.
Management Plans
Managing a large number of trees on a site may seem overwhelming, but with a well-designed long-term management plan, it becomes more manageable. Such a plan helps ensure health and safety compliance and budget optimisation. Undertaking proactive work, especially on a larger scale, early on can lead to long-term cost savings compared to reactive measures.
BS:5837 Trees and Development
During the planning process for any development, adherence to the BS5837 document is essential. We provide site surveys, reports, and arboricultural impact assessments to comply with the requirements outlined in this document, ensuring the proper consideration and management of trees.
