Tree Report Manchester: Planning and Development
A tree report for planning and development is a document that provides information about the trees located on a site that is being considered for development. The report typically includes a survey of the trees, which may involve measuring and recording information such as the species, size, and condition of each tree. The report may also highlight tree problems and provide recommendations for how the trees should be managed or protected during the development process.
Tree surveys and reports are often required by local planning authorities as part of the planning process. The purpose of arboricultural surveys and reports is to help ensure that the trees on a site are properly considered in the development process and that any impacts on the trees are minimised or mitigated as much as possible.
The report may also be used to help identify opportunities for preserving or enhancing the trees and their ecological value, such as through the incorporation of green spaces or the planting of new trees.

This protection is typically in the form of conservation areas, root protection areas or they can be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).

Tree Consultants
A tree consultant, otherwise known as an arboricultural consultant, is a professional that is qualified in woodland and tree management. The role of a tree consultant is to advise and assess the health, management and benefit of individual trees, including forests and woodland areas.
Arboricultural consultants have a varied role within ecology. They prepare tree reports and tree surveys for clients regarding individual trees or all trees on a site. On development sites where retained trees are endangered by construction work, a consultant may be required to provide specific mitigation measures that must be taken to protect trees from damage. The most common type of tree report required by developers is the BS5837 trees in relation to design, demolition and construction survey.
Tree services are typically required by developers involved with the planning and development of a site. Those who have trees located on their property also have a duty of care and a legal responsibility to ensure that the trees do not pose as a danger to others and should carry out tree reports to ensure that all of the trees are safe.
