As part of any building project from domestic extensions to full scale developments, it’s essential for architects and developers to incorporate both the existing features of the site and local building requirements in their plans. In order to avoid delays to the planning process, it is down to architects and developers to have foreseen any potential issues in advance.
BS5837 tree surveys are a prerequisite of local planning where there may be an impact on trees on or near the development site. By working closely with architects and developers from the very early stages of a project, the BS5837 report from Technical Arboriculture, which includes an Arboricultural Impact Assessment and Arboricultural Method Statement, can help guide architects towards achievable outcomes. By aiding architects and developers to understand how existing trees impact the site and how best to manage those trees within the development. Moreover, our report will advise on construction methods and processes that assist in approval for both national and local planning requirements.
Now more than ever, accuracy and prompt planning approval are priorities for many end clients. Contact us at Technical Arboriculture to benefit from our expertise within your project.
“We use Technical Arboriculture for the development of our tree strategy, tree policy and risk management plan. They also prioritised our tree risk management areas and now carry out our surveys. We undertook a thorough tender process and awarded the contract based on their ability to meet council policies, give value for money and their approach to risk assessing with approval from our insurers at Zurich.”
