Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a tree survey before starting my construction project?
If you have trees on or near your development site, yes! Tree surveys are typically required for planning applications and help identify valuable trees and potential constraints. Getting this done early prevents costly delays and redesigns later on.
How long does a tree survey for planning take?
For most sites, we can complete the survey in a single day with the report ready within a week. Larger sites with many trees may take a bit longer. Give us a call for a timeline based on your specific project.
Can you help if I've already been given tree-related planning conditions?
Absolutely! We regularly help clients discharge tree-related planning conditions. We'll prepare the necessary method statements or protection plans and work with the local authority to get conditions discharged efficiently.
What happens if trees need to be removed for my development?
If removal is unavoidable, we'll guide you through getting proper permissions for protected trees, suggest suitable replacement planting, and create biodiversity plans to offset losses. We ensure everything follows regulations to prevent planning issues.
How do you protect trees during construction?
We use protective fencing around root zones, ground protection where access is needed, and sometimes specialised techniques like air-spading or adjusted foundation designs. The key is having a clear protection plan that everyone on site follows.
