Assessment of trees, development impacts and appropriate protection measures.
Tree evidence is useful where development could affect trees on or near the site. Understanding retention, protection and construction constraints early can help avoid conflicts between the layout and tree requirements.
Specialist input reviews the tree information and proposal, assesses impacts and identifies protection measures. Depending on the instruction, the package may include a survey, impact assessment, protection plan and method statement.
You receive the agreed arboricultural documents and recommendations for the design and construction team. Survey extent, off-site trees, supervision and later design revisions are confirmed in the scope.
Site plan, tree survey information and proposed development drawings.
We review the site, proposal and planning stage to agree the appropriate scope. Specialist surveys and assessments are coordinated where needed.

Site plan, tree survey information and proposed development drawings.
The price shown is a starting estimate for the stated scope. We review the site, proposal, available information and required deliverables, then confirm the fee, exclusions and programme in a written quotation before appointment.
We bring the relevant planning consultants and specialist providers into a coordinated project team. They work from an agreed brief and current proposal, with dependencies and design changes discussed across disciplines. Each consultant remains responsible for their own professional advice and agreed deliverables.
PART OF A COORDINATED APPOINTMENT
This service can form part of a wider coordinated planning appointment. We bring the relevant consultants together to work alongside your design team, discuss assessment findings and identify how recommendations affect other reports and the proposal.
Your fee proposal confirms who prepares each document, the information it relies on and the limits of the instruction. A report provides evidence for the council’s assessment; the planning decision remains the council’s. Explore how our consultants work together or discuss the team your project needs.
