Development site surveys

 
 

As pressure on development sites increases and the need for more units per hectare increases, the protection and retention of trees becomes more difficult.

Local Planning Authorities are increasingly demanding tree surveys in accordance with British Standard 5837:2005 before registering planning applications. Often they have a Supplementary Planning Guidance document to advise applicants on the type of report required, but even without such a document, the Sections 197 & 198 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 gives them the authority to require such information at the application registration stage.

Development site tree surveys from MJC Tree ServicesMark Carter can carry out these surveys and produce Tree Constraints Plans, Arboricultural Implication Assessments, Tree Protection Plans and Arboricultural Method Statements, all based on AutoCAD plans that can be delivered electronically and are compatible with the plans used by other construction professionals. On site supervision of construction operations is another service offered that is being increasingly required by Local Authorities. Contact us for further information and to discuss your requirements.
