Arboricultural Surveys
An Arboricultural Survey can assess and report on the current state of the tree stock in a given area and can be used to determine the future management of the trees. The trees that form part of our urban landscape and countryside have an important role to play in the fight against climate change.
Trees in their various species are aesthetically pleasing, environmentally beneficial and can stop the erosion of soil across large areas. They can also be home to a variety of wildlife and birds, helping to keep river water cool in summer which is beneficial to river fish populations.
Surveys can be conducted for a variety of reasons, including:
Planning Consent: Local Authorities will often protect certain trees, in particular, native species, with Tree Preservation Orders (TPO). Removal or cutting back a tree which is the subject of a Tree Preservation Order without obtaining permission from the Local Authority can result in prosecution. Where Planning Permission is being sought for new developments, plans should take into account any trees on or near the site. An Arboricultural Survey, which should comply with BS5837 2012 will make recommendations as to which trees should be retained on the site so that planning permission is more likely to be granted. Many Local Authorities now employ an Arboricultural Officer who can advise on such matters.
Subsidence: Tree roots can affect the structure of a wall or building. They can affect the foundation of buildings as they develop up to or around a structure. This can cause dampness in structures, if they break sewage or water pipes, leading to subsidence which can again, affect the foundations of buildings and walls.
Tree health check: At various stages in their life, trees can be vulnerable to pests and diseases, damage from storms or adverse weather conditions which could make them unsafe. Regular Arboricultural Surveys can give warning of potential future health problems
Personal Safety: Both private and public property owners also have a responsibility to ensure that trees on their land do not pose a risk to the safety of others. Regular inspections of trees can ensure that they are not allowed to deteriorate into a dangerous condition.
House Purchase: Mortgage lenders or insurers may request an Arboricultural Survey prior to the purchase of a property. This offers reassurance that trees on or near a property are not liable to cause damage to the property or cause injury to anyone in the property.
