Tree Surveys and Reports

AMT Tree Surgeons provide a wide range of professional tree survey and consultancy services which will be tailor-made to your specific requirements. We offer fully qualified and insured advice in relation to tree condition surveys, tree risk assessment, tree surveys for planning applications and general tree management or woodland advice, working closely to the latest industry guidelines and arboricultural best practice.

BS5837: Trees In Relation to Demolition and Construction

Local authorities require information relating to all trees in proximity to proposed developments. Your BS5837 tree survey, and the arboricultural report, will be specifically tailored to meet your needs as well as those of the tree officer and your local planning department.

As part of the survey, you may receive some or all of these details, depending on the site itself:

Detail of each tree, including its species, size, quality and value to the landscape.
Tree Constraints Plan and all of it's components.
An Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) that assesses the impact the planned works may have on the trees.
A method statement, detailing how the construction should be carried in a way that considers and protects nearby trees.
Root protection zones, identified to protect a tree's rooting system.
Details, drawings, plans and specifications regarding issues such as shade and future crown sizes.

In addition to the above, AMT Tree Surgeons also offer additional arboricultural input to help clients obtain planning on particularly tricky sites. Site supervision can be fairly wide ranging and usually becomes necessary where there is a conflict between proposal and RPA, and further information is required to accurately assess the likely impact to trees, or potentially the lack of impact.

TPO Surveys

Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) are orders made by the local authority to protect individual trees, groups or areas of trees, or woodland. If your trees are protected by a TPO you will need permission from your local authority to carry out any work (except in a very few exempted situations) to the trees. Similarly, if you live within a conservation area you also need to apply to work on any trees as well as hedges.
If your property contains TPO trees in root or tree protection areas, you would need a arboricultural consultant to provide a report to if you wish to make any changes. AMT Tree Surgeons are are fully qualified to offer help for anyone dealing with tree preservation orders.

Tree Inspection and Condition

A tree survey is an assessment made by an expert in arboriculture of a tree, or group of trees, for various different purposes. One of these purposes is to assess the safety of trees to protect people and property,

It's wise for homeowners and commercial property owners to obtain a tree condition survey, also known as a tree safety survey, to ensure any potential hazards can be rectified before any damage or harm is caused. Many purchase annual tree condition surveys for peace of mind.

You will receive the following details in your report:

Detail of each tree, including its species, size, and value to the landscape.
Information on each tree's health and condition.
Recommendations on the works required to manage the trees to eradicate and minimise risk moving forward.

Aerial Inspection

We offer experienced City & Guilds NPTC qualified aerial tree assessments and hazard inspections to inform the future management of trees under the responsibility of our clients.

One of the key requirements when assessing risks posed by trees is to gain an understanding of the likelihood of structural tree failure. Trees situated close to property or on publicly accessible land present potential risk to both personal and public safety. Landowners are responsible for damage or injury caused by trees on their land and have a duty of care to prevent foreseeable harm occurring. Often these hazards are situated within the upper crown of a tree and as such a ground based survey can often not provide comprehensive evidence as to the extent of the hazard present.

Our tree climbing assessments include:

- Detailed individual tree inspections

- Internal decay detection assessments

- Assessments of features and habitat provided by individual veteran trees – forming part of a specialist Veteran Tree Survey
