| 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.
 Mark 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.
