Tree Safety And Risk Management

As the owner of a tree, you have a legal responsibility for its safety. Dangerous, poorly managed trees can occasionally result in tragic consequences, which you could be held liable for.

Trees And Your Planning Application

Without the right paperwork, trees can be a real problem when securing planning consent. If there are trees on or nearby a proposed development, your planning applications will need a BS5837:2012 tree survey. Without one, councils may refuse to validate your planning applications which could seriously delay your project. Maximise your chances of success From a tree to a wood

Your responsibility for trees

Tree owners have a legal duty of care to take a balanced and proportionate approach to tree safety. A tree that could cause harm if it fell must be systematically inspected by a competent person and managed to keep risks low.

Let us take the responsibility

Finding the best solution

We know the information councils want and can provide this in professional clear reports that maximise the chances of planning success avoiding any unnecessary delays.

Beyond the planning application

Weve successfully helped a wide range of developments to gain planning consent, from a small domestic extension near a single tree to major infrastructure projects and large scale residential developments involving thousands of trees.

Balancing other issues such as public access, biodiversity and amenity value, we use a common sense approach. We work with our clients to ensure they are able to meet their duty of care towards public safety keeping risks to a minimum in the most cost-effective way.

If youre anxious about tree safety and the burden of liability, we can help. Our surveys and reports shift the responsibility from you the tree owner to us the tree experts. And it doesnt matter whether you have a single tree in a domestic garden, hundreds of trees on an estate, or even entire tree populations for housing associations and local authorities well take responsibility for them all.

But we understand its not always just all about the planning process its about the trees themselves and your development. And thats where our extra knowhow comes in handy. We have the expertise to minimise the impact on important trees and to maximise the development potential of a site.

Get in touch

If you would like an informal chat about the trees on a potential development site or if you need formal tree reports, impact assessments and method statements that will support your planning application, please get in touch to see how we can help.
