We offer a full range of arboricultural services in accordance with the guiding principles of \u2018Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction \u2013Recommendations\u2019 which include:<\/span><\/p>\n

1) FEASIBILITY<\/strong><\/span>
\nTree Survey<\/span>
\nA tree survey usually refers collectively to the trees in a survey area of whatever size. The kind of information recorded includes Tree Name: Number; Height; Crown Spread; Age; Condition; Categorisation; Recommendations; and Root Protection Measurements.<\/span>
\nTree Constraints Plan (TCP)<\/span>
\nA site plan to show the tree-related constraints to development as envisaged in BS 5837 (2012); this plan will include both above ground or below ground constraints.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) DESIGN<\/strong><\/span>
\nArboricultural Impact Assessments (AIA)<\/span>
\nA study undertaken by an arboriculturist to identify, evaluate and possibly mitigate impacts on existing trees that may arise as a result of any proposed development.<\/span>
\nTree Protection Plan (TPP)<\/span>
\nBS 5837 (2012) covers procedures intended to ensure the wellbeing of trees on a development site. A scale drawing is required to identify the trees that will be removed or pruned, and illustrates the protection measures required for any trees that will be retained.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) IMPLEMENTATION<\/strong><\/span>
\nArboricultural Method Statement (AMS)<\/span>
\nAn AMS is often required as a condition of planning consent. BS 5837 (2012) specifies how site works should be carried out near trees in order to avoid accidental damage:<\/span>
\nThe statement may include the following:<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1494941318749{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1496304575826{margin-left: 0px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
