Arboricultural surveys
Arboricultural surveys assess trees on and around development sites. Required for most planning applications where trees are present, a BS5837 survey categorises trees by quality and retention value, identifies root protection areas, and informs site layout. Tree surgeons can also provide reports on tree health, safety inspections, and subsidence investigations.
