Having secured a plot of potential building land, your next step is to contact an Arboriculturist to carry out a BS5837 'Tree Survey'. As Local Planning Authorities (LPA's) are now insisting on a tree survey before considering any proposal where trees are present, ensuring these documents are in place early in the process is essential to avoid lengthy delays.
'British Standard 5837:2005 Trees in relation to construction - Recommendations' is a comprehensive and complex document.
By instructing English Tree Arboricultural Consultants to act for you, will ensure your designs are achievable as it is now the arboriculturist who is at the centre of the design process, where trees are present.
We will gladly discuss your proposals without obligation at an early point in the development.
