Ongoing site monitoring ensures that all tree protection measures are properly implemented and maintained throughout the construction phase. This process typically involves scheduled inspections, photographic evidence, and formal reporting to confirm compliance with the Arboricultural Method Statement (AMS) and Tree Protection Plan (TPP) agreed during the planning process.
During each visit, we assess the condition and positioning of protective fencing, ground protection, exclusion zones, and any specialist construction techniques being used near retained trees. We also identify any unauthorised activity, accidental encroachment, or risks that may require immediate corrective action. This proactive oversight helps prevent avoidable damage to root systems, trunks, and canopies during high-risk stages of construction.
Site monitoring is frequently required as a planning condition for developments involving retained trees, providing the Local Planning Authority with independent assurance that approved measures are being followed. Regular arboricultural supervision supports smooth project delivery by reducing the likelihood of enforcement action, delays, or costly remediation related to tree damage.
Our monitoring reports are clear, compliant, and easy for project managers and planning officers to understand—keeping communication transparent and ensuring the development remains on track while safeguarding valuable trees. Contact our experts today!
