SERVICES

Planning & Validation Requirements.

 

  • BS:5837 Tree Surveys: I will assess the condition, longevity, shade analysis, root protection areas (RPAs), and the relative landscape value (colour coded) of trees on development sites in accordance with British Standards 5837 trees in relation to demolition, design, and construction. This information can inform your development layout and will meet local and national planning validation requirements. 
  • Feasibility  Study. I can identify material constraints arising from existing trees that merit retention to inform the feasibility and design options in relation to proposed layouts.
  • Arboricultural Impact Assessments: I will evaluate the direct and indirect effects of the proposed development and where necessary recommend mitigation.  This will include specifications for facilitation  tree works in accordance with BS 3998 Tree Works. 
  • Tree  Protection Plans. I can specify tree protection measures which may include input on possible engineering solutions to deal with potential conflicts with important trees. 
  • Method Statements. I will detail how to successfully implement tree protection measures where appropriate.
  • Soft Landscaping Schemes. Prepare outline or detailed schemes that incorporate biodiversity net gain requirements. This may require liaising with the appointed ecologists. 
  • AutoCAD DWG format. We can annotate topographical surveys in DWG format to inform layout, tree dimensions and tree protection measures etc. which can be used by your architects/design/engineering team.



Tree Inspections

Tree Condition Inspections

We can assess the health and longevity of your tree(s), investigate pests and diseases,  and provide recommendations for possible works or remedial measures where required. Risk assessments will be included and will be broadly in accordance with principles of 'VALID' (see below). If you are worried about your tree(s) I will work with you to determine the best and most cost effective course of action in your case. 


Tree Work Applications

Let me handle your tree work application and deal with your local planning authority and trees officers, most of whom I know, on your behalf.  I will work with you to establish the extent of works you wish to undertake, and prepare a formal tree work application that will meet the validation requirements of your local Council. In the unlikely event your application is refused,  I will  also deal with any appeals on your behalf.  


Tree Risk-Benefit Management Strategy [VALID].

Trees give us so many benefits and thankfully the overall risk from trees and branches falling is statistically very low. We have a duty of care, however, to anyone exposed to the risk from your trees and you remain liable for any harm or damage your trees may cause. VALID is a simple, defendable, and highly cost-effective strategy for managing the small risks posed by trees in a reasonable, proportionate, and practicable way.  If you or your clients don't have a structured tree risk management strategy, or you are simply concerned about how safe your trees are, or you worry about the overall risk from your trees, contact me for a no-obligation discussion tree consultant arboricultural consultant ecological consultant

  •  Trees give us so many benefits and thankfully the overall risk from trees and branches falling is statistically very low. We have a duty of care, however, to anyone exposed to the risk from your trees and you remain liable for any harm or damage your trees may cause. 


  • VALID is a simple, defendable and highly cost effective strategy for managing the small risks posed by trees in a reasonable, proportionate, and practicable way. I can bring to bear my expertise and knowledge to quantify the risks, and where unacceptable risks are found, specify what is required to bring those risks to an Acceptable or Tolerable level.

Trees, Woodland & Ecology

Trees, woodlands and hedgerows provide habitats for birds, bats, insects and a range of other flora and fauna. For example, one Oak tree can provide a habitat and food for hundreds of species of insects, 30 types of bird and over 300 species of lichen. Even dead wood can provide many benefits.


When drawing up a management plan, risk assessments or recommendations for works to trees, or woodland operations etc, I will always consider the potential impact on wildlife and seek ways to mitigate this impact where ever possible. 


Development Sites & Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

National Planning Policy Framework (2019) states that development should deliver measurable net gains in biodiversity. In addition, many local planning authorities have set requirements for biodiversity net gain within their local plans


Management plans and soft landscaping schemes, in collaboration with the appointed ecologist, will take into account and meet BNG requirements broadly in accordance with 

Environment Act 2021: PART 6 (Nature and biodiversity) Biodiversity gain in planning.

Pesticide Policy

  

We are all concerned about our environment and the loss vulnerable wildlife means we all need to limit our individual and collective impact and limiting pesticide use is one important step we can take. 


I will not routinely endorse or specify pesticide use  (herbicides, fungicides and insecticides) unless there are overwhelming and justifiable reasons for doing so (for example the control of invasive insects, such as the Brown Tail Moth, which is a threat to human health).  


Whatever the case, we'll discuss with you the options available but with emphasis on avoiding use of pesticides and seek alternative methods of control wherever possible
