BS5837 Tree Surveys & Reports

At Waterman Tree Co., we specialise in BS5837 tree surveys and reports, ensuring your development project complies with planning regulations while minimising impact on existing trees. Our expert team works closely with architects, developers, and planners to integrate trees into designs effectively, improving your chances of a successful planning application.

What is a BS5837 Tree Survey?

A BS5837 survey assesses trees on and around a proposed development site to determine their condition, value, and potential impact from construction. This survey is essential for any planning application involving trees and helps local authorities make informed decisions about development proposals.

Why Do You Need a BS5837 Survey?

Required for planning applications where trees are present
Identifies tree constraints and opportunities for retention
Ensures compliance with British Standard BS5837:2012
Helps avoid costly delays and redesigns due to tree-related issues
Supports sustainable development by preserving valuable trees

Our BS5837 Survey Process

We follow a structured approach to ensure seamless integration of trees into your project:

Stage 1: Tree Survey & Categorisation

On-site assessment of all relevant trees, hedgerows, and woodlands
Recording tree species, size, condition, and root protection areas (RPAs)
Categorisation of trees based on their retention value (A, B, C, U)
Providing a detailed tree constraints plan (TCP) to inform design decisions

Stage 2: Collaboration with the Design Team

Working closely with architects and planners to optimise design while preserving high-value trees
Advising on construction techniques to minimise root zone disturbance
Ensuring low to no impact on surrounding trees whenever possible
Enhancing your planning application success rate by proactively addressing tree-related concerns

Stage 3: Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA)

Evaluating potential tree loss or damage due to proposed works
Recommending mitigation strategies such as tree protection fencing or root bridging solutions
Providing an Arboricultural Impact Assessment report to accompany your planning submission

Stage 4: Arboricultural Method Statement (AMS) & Tree Protection Plan (TPP)

Outlining best practices for tree protection during construction
Detailing necessary precautions, including protective barriers and ground protection
Ensuring compliance with local authority tree protection policies
