Development Sites
The preservation of trees and hedges near a property can greatly enhance its value and appeal for future developments - FACT. If we are involved early, we can guide elements of the proposed design towards something acceptable by the Local Planning Authority, gaining planning consent with minimal conditions
What is the potential...
...of the site? We can help you realise.
01 - Tree Survey
-
Commission a Topographical Survey
-
We undertake a BS 5837:2012 Tree Survey to plot trees and assess the health, condition and amenity value of trees on-site
-
This is plotted on a technical drawing using AutoCAD
03 - Arboricultural Impact Assessment
-
We evaluate and report on the impact of the development on trees and the impact of retained trees after completion.
-
Tree removals, planning policy and mitigation measures required to reduce adverse impacts to local amenity.
02 - Tree Constraints Assessment
-
Tree features (root protection areas, crown spreads etc.) are plotted in order to inform the site design layout - this will be plotted on a Tree Constraints Plan.
-
We then discuss any constraints or opportunities identified.
04 - Arboricultural method Statement
-
We provide a clear and detailed Tree Protection Plan using AutoCAD. This will illustrate tree protection measures.
-
Written guidance specific to the site operations will be written in the report to ensure the safety of trees throughout the duration of the development.
-
We speak with relevant disciplines where necessary (e.g. engineers, SUDS etc.)
Good to know...
It is beneficial for land owners and developers to understand the potential density and layout when negotiating land purchase. Our surveys can be conducted discreetly and efficiently provide important information and guidance.
This can not only simplify the approval process but also reassure local authorities that an environmentally sensitive approach is being taken.
