Tree Survey North London: Planning and Development

Tree surveys and reports will be required if a potential development site will be within close proximity to trees and other vegetation. These types of surveys are needed as local authorities in designated areas are required to review and assess the potential impact that a development could have on the surrounding trees, especially if it may involve tree removal.

Tree surveys for planning applications are necessary as retained trees are protected under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. This protection is typically in the form of conservation areas, Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs), and root protection areas.

If your development requires a tree survey, North London, you will need the extensive range of services from an arboricultural consultancy in order to meet tree survey requirements to obtain planning permission.

1. Conducting a visual tree assessment to identify their health and condition, including looking for signs of disease, damage, or decay.
2. Measuring and documenting the size, height, and location of trees, often using specialised tools such as a measuring tape, clinometer, and GPS.
3. Identifying the species of trees, as well as any potential risks they may pose to people or property.
4. Providing recommendations for tree care and management, such as pruning or removal, based on their assessment. These recommendations can then be carried out by a tree surgeon.
5. Preparing reports and maps of the trees on a property, which may be used for planning and development purposes, or to comply with local regulations.

Overall, the goal of our tree surveyors is to help ensure the health and safety of protected trees while also taking into account the needs and goals of the property owner or developer.
