Survey Reporting & Recommendations

Our Area of Expertise

Our survey reporting & recommendations are designed to be clear, concise and highly practical, giving you all the information needed to make informed decisions about tree management. Each report includes accurate mapping of tree locations, detailed inspection data, high-quality photographs of key defects or features, and a summary of the tree’s condition and associated risks.

To support effective planning and budgeting, we provide prioritised recommendations, categorised into urgency levels such as:

Urgent works (immediate safety concerns)
Programmed works (maintenance required within a reasonable timeframe)
Monitoring (trees that require reinspection or ongoing observation)

All recommendations are aligned with recognised arboricultural best practice and tailored to your site’s operational needs.

Reports can be supplied in digital format—ideal for integration into existing asset management systems—or printed for on-site use and long-term record-keeping. Whatever the format, our reporting provides a clear, defensible foundation for responsible tree management and future planning. Contact our experts today!

Do I need a tree survey for my planning application?

If trees are present on or near your development site, most planning authorities will require a BS5837 tree survey.

What is a Tree Constraints Plan?

It shows which trees may constrain development and helps shape the site layout around existing valuable trees.

Can you work with architects or planning consultants?

Yes, we frequently collaborate with project teams to deliver compliant and practical tree solutions.

Will you liaise with the local council on my behalf?

Absolutely. We can submit reports, attend meetings, and handle all tree-related aspects of your planning process.
