BS5837:2012 Tree Surveys
Trees are vital features of a landscape and offer many benefits from aesthetical factors to scientific factors. At Elite Ecology, we specialise in conducting BS5837:2012 tree surveys to support your development projects, ensuring that trees are properly assessed and managed in accordance with UK planning and environmental regulations.
Whether you're planning a small extension, a large residential development, or a commercial project, our expert team provides accurate and thorough tree surveys to help you navigate the planning process smoothly.
Why Are BS5837:2012 Tree Surveys Important?
Tree surveys are essential for any development project that may be affected by trees. Here’s why a BS5837:2012 tree survey is crucial for your project:
-
Planning Compliance: Local councils require a tree survey as part of the planning application process, especially if there are trees that could be impacted by construction.
-
Environmental Protection: A survey helps to preserve valuable trees and green spaces, ensuring that your development is environmentally sustainable.
-
Damage Prevention: By identifying the root protection zones and assessing tree health, we help avoid potential damage to trees during construction.
-
Mitigation and Protection: We provide recommendations for tree protection measures, including the installation of barriers and careful management of construction activities near trees.
Our tree surveys are conducted in accordance with BS 5837:2012 - Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction – Recommendations. This standard ensures that all relevant aspects of tree assessment are covered, including tree species, condition, height, crown spread, and stem diameter. We also carry out a desktop study to identify any site-specific protections, such as Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) that may apply.
Our experienced team is fully licensed to carry out tree surveys across the UK, providing reliable, accurate reports that meet planning requirements. Prices for our tree surveys start from £350.
