Engaging with Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) at the right stages of a project can make a substantial difference to planning success. Our arboricultural consultants act as dedicated intermediaries, ensuring tree-related matters are clearly communicated, fully evidenced and aligned with local policy expectations from the outset. We work proactively with planning officers and tree officers to ensure that all submitted documents—such as BS5837 surveys, Tree Constraints Reports, Arboricultural Impact Assessments, Tree Protection Plans and Method Statements—meet the required standards and address any queries promptly.
By maintaining open, constructive dialogue with the LPA, we help resolve issues early, minimise delays and reduce the risk of requests for additional information. This coordinated approach ensures that your project progresses smoothly, with tree considerations integrated seamlessly into the wider planning strategy.
For architects, planners and developers, our liaison service provides reassurance that the arboricultural elements of the application are professionally managed and presented with clarity. It not only saves time and reduces administrative burden, but also enhances the credibility of the submission—giving planning authorities confidence that tree protection, design integration and compliance with BS 5837:2012 have been given appropriate expert attention.
Whether you require support at pre-application stage, during formal submission, or in response to planning conditions, we provide consistent, informed communication that strengthens your planning position and contributes to positive outcomes. Get in touch today!
