What is a Tree Survey?
A tree survey is a study of trees on public or private land to obtain as much useful information as possible about them. The data collected includes:
- Species
- Age and life expectancy
- Number of trees
- Location
- Size
- Leaf colour
- Canopy condition and spread
- Root condition and protection areas
- Presence of any ivy or fungus
These findings can aid individuals in making decisions regarding the future of the tree, whether they are a homeowner or overseeing a commercial site.
When Are Kent Tree Surveys Needed?
Tree surveys are sometimes required by law to help protect and conserve certain species of trees. This could be because they are endangered or under a tree protection order.
When it comes to design, demolition and construction, the British Standard for Trees says that ‘appropriate measures should be taken to assess existing trees on and adjacent to a site where any new development is proposed’. This can be very helpful for new developments, as the information we give you can allow you to either account for them in your design or plan for their removal. Having taken the steps to get as much information as you can regarding the tree will boost your project’s chances of planning approval.
What Our Tree Surveys Consist Of
Our tree surveys meet the five stages of the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) guidelines, so you can rest assured that your design team or architect will have all of the information they need. This is as follows:
- Arborical Feasibility Advice
- Tree surgery and constraints advice
- Arboricultural impact assessment
- Arboricultural method statement
- Site Supervision
During every single tree survey in Kent, we assess the trees in the designated area and record all necessary details. From here, we can score each tree with a rating of good, fair or poor and then provide an Arboricultural Impact Assessment. This will recommend which trees need to be removed and provide suggestions on what other trees could replace them. All this information helps developers and planners make an informed decision and make plans to ensure the trees on the site can be managed as effectively as possible.
