FAQ
​
What does an arboricultural consultant do?
An arboricultural consultant provides expert assessments, reports and recommendations on the health, safety and management of trees. This includes surveys, inspections, planning reports, risk assessments and advice relating to development, tree law and long-term management.
​
Do I need an arboricultural report for my planning application?
If your project involves building near trees, working within a Conservation Area or affecting trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order, the local authority will usually require a BS5837 tree survey and report. We prepare fully compliant documentation to support planning applications and ensure your project progresses smoothly.
​
How long does a tree survey or report take to complete?
Most surveys can be carried out within a short site visit, and reports are typically delivered within a few days depending on project size. For larger developments or complex cases, we provide clear timelines in advance and keep you updated throughout the process.
