Frequently asked questions

What is a tree survey for a planning application?

A tree survey for a planning application is a thorough assessment of trees on a site that may be affected by proposed development. It helps local authorities and developers understand the impact the development might have on the trees and ensures their protection. Arbor Division Ltd provides comprehensive tree surveys that comply with planning regulations, allowing clients to proceed with their applications confidently.

Why do I need a tree survey for planning applications?

A tree survey for planning applications is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it assesses the impact that proposed developments will have on existing trees, ensuring their protection. Additionally, it provides valuable information on the health and stability of trees, identifying any potential risks. This survey helps to comply with local authorities' requirements and enables the development to proceed smoothly, minimising any harm to trees and surrounding environments. At Arbor Division Ltd, we offer professional tree surveys to ensure your planning applications meet all necessary regulations.

What does a tree survey for planning applications involve?

A tree survey for planning typically involves a comprehensive assessment of trees on a property. It includes identifying species, measuring size and age, evaluating health and stability, and recording any defects or diseases. This survey helps determine the impact of proposed developments on trees and ensures compliance with regulations. Our certified tree surgeons at Arbor Division Ltd are experienced in conducting tree surveys for planning, providing accurate assessments to guide your development projects.

Who should I choose to carry out a tree survey for planning applications?

When it comes to requesting a tree survey for planning applications, it is crucial to hire a professional and qualified arboriculturalist.

The consultant arborist will know local planning policy, tree preservation legislation, the construction process and the specific requirements of the planning authority. Arbor Division Ltd has a team of experienced and knowledgeable tree surgeons who are skilled in conducting thorough tree surveys for planning applications and will ensure that the planning process is smooth and compliant with regulations.

How does a tree survey influence planning decisions?

A tree survey is a crucial tool in influencing planning decisions. By assessing the health, condition, and safety of existing trees on a property, it helps determine their potential impact on construction or development projects. Tree surveys enable planners to make informed decisions regarding the protection, preservation, and management of trees, ensuring their long-term sustainability and minimizing any adverse effects on the environment.

Can a tree survey help with obtaining planning permission?

Yes, a tree survey can definitely help with obtaining planning permission. A thorough survey will assess the health, condition, and stability of trees on the property, identifying any potential risks or constraints. This information is crucial for determining the impact a proposed development might have on the trees and whether any measures need to be taken to protect or mitigate their loss. A tree survey provides the necessary evidence and documentation to support planning applications and ensure compliance with local regulations.

When should a tree survey be conducted for a planning application?

A tree survey should be conducted for a planning application when there are trees located within or near the proposed development area. It is crucial to assess the condition, size, and species of the trees to ensure the project's compliance with local regulations and minimize any potential impact on the tree's health.

What if a tree survey identifies protected or veteran trees?

If a tree survey conducted by Arbor Division Ltd identifies protected or veteran trees, our team will work closely with the local authorities to navigate the necessary permissions and procedures. We understand the importance of respecting and preserving these trees, and our expert tree surgeons will ensure that all work is conducted in accordance with the relevant regulations and guidelines.

Is it possible to appeal a planning decision related to trees?

Yes, it is possible to appeal a planning decision related to trees. If you disagree with a planning decision affecting trees on your property, you have the option to challenge it. This typically involves submitting an appeal to the appropriate local authority and providing relevant evidence to support your case. Consult with a professional tree surgeon or arborist who specializes in navigating the planning appeal process for the best possible outcome. Arbor Division Ltd can provide expert guidance and assistance throughout the appeal process.
