Development Sites
Trees within development sites are important in their ensuring continuity of green cover, reduction in visual impact of new developments, biodiversity and a range of other beneficial factors.
Trees identified for retention and subsequent protection within development sites often form an integral part of the planning process whereby regulations during the construction process must be adhered to.
The following services are provided from pre-planning through to completion of the development:
- Pre-planning tree survey in an unbiased and objective manner impartial to the objectives of planning.
- Tree Constraints Plan (TCP) in conjunction with a topographical survey of the proposed site.
- Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) illustrating the impact of surveyed trees on proposed development and vice-versa.
- Arboricultural Method Statement (AMS) in a clearly written format stating defined parameters for the developer to adhere to in relation to BS 5837: 2012 and subsequent tree retention for selected specimens in relation to the proposed development.
- Tree Protection Plan (TPP) in a clearly understandable format.
- Site monitoring during the construction phase through to completion, working closely and providing ongoing advice and guidance with the developer regarding tree retention.
