Arboricultural consultancy services

Our arboricultural consultants offer expert guidance on tree survey reports, arboricultural assessments and planning support, covering the legal and safety requirements of your project.

1. Tree surveys and reports

We can conduct various tree surveys, including tree condition reports, BS5837 development surveys, tree risk surveys, and mortgage or insurance reports.

We’ll assess the health, safety, and planning constraints of your upcoming project and ensure that site safety and the well-being of your trees are prioritised at all times.

2. Arboricultural assessments and planning support

Whether you require Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIAs), Method Statements (AMSs) or Tree Protection Plans (TPPs) to support your planning application, we are fully qualified to provide you with all the information, reporting, and guidance you need.

All of our surveys, reports, and assessments are delivered on a bespoke, case-by-case basis and are backed by RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statements) for comprehensive safety and compliance.

We’re also happy to work alongside councils, architects, and ecologists throughout Essex where required.

Arboricultural supervision services

Once planning has been approved, we can offer ongoing supervision to keep your project compliant and your trees protected.

We’ll meet with all contractors and stakeholders before work commences to ensure that everyone understands any approved tree protection measures and solutions.

We’ll oversee the set-up of protective fencing and ground protection systems in line with guidance from Tree Protection Plans and  Arboricultural Method Statements.

We’ll conduct regular inspections at key points during your build. For instance, during excavation, trenching, or hard landscaping in high-risk tree areas, we’ll be there to supervise and guide as needed.

When the work is complete, we’ll reassess tree health and structural integrity for peace of mind and compliance.

As your project draws to a close, we’ll deliver a formal report outlining key observations, outcomes, and compliance.

Who needs tree consultancy and arboricultural supervision services?

We work with:

  • Property developers and builders
  • Homeowners
  • Architects
