Arboriculture

We conduct preliminary tree surveys and review designations, policies and other instruments of relevance to arboriculture.  This informs masterplanning and feasibility studies to avoid unforeseen risks to future planning applications.

Our BS 5837 compliant Arboricultural Impact Assessments quantify how proposed development may affect trees and set out necessary protection and mitigation measures in line with planning policy and good environmental stewardship.

Our clear, practical method statements act as both planning authority and contractor-facing documents, setting out how development activities will be carried out without significant risk of harm to retained trees.

Our clerk of works oversee the implementation of Arboriculture Method Statements and tree-related activity on site, ensuring protection, compliance, and best practice during construction, while safeguarding trees’ long-term health and public safety.

We identify, monitor and manage tree pests and diseases, ensuring trees remain healthy, resilient, and valuable features in our urban or rural landscapes.

We inspect trees to identify hazards and assess foreseeable risk, offering practical advice that safeguards people, property, and the environment while supporting sustainable tree management.

We design bespoke tree management systems and operating procedures that support the efficient use of resources and demonstrate legal duty of care.

We develop strategies and policy to guide tree management, ensuring a balanced approach to intervention and the setting of realistic objectives that maximise ecological, social, and environmental value.

Our Woodland Management Plans set out practical, sustainable approaches to enhance, and manage woodlands, supporting biodiversity, wellbeing, and long-term resilience.
