Tree Surveys for Development Work When carrying out any building work or development near trees, local authorities require all potentially affected trees to be surveyed by a qualified arboricultural surveyor in accordance with BS5837:2012 (Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction).Our qualified arboricultural surveyors have worked closely with local authoritiesand planners to ensure we provide a tailored service for our clients, covering allaspects of the British Standard. Through our various departments we can provide: Topographical Survey | Tree Survey | Tree Categorisation | Tree Constraints Plan

Their services will provide a framework which both planners and architects canwork from, by providing an understanding of the constraints and opportunitieswithin a site. The reports can be provided in hard copy or as CAD files if required.
