Defensible BS5837 Tree Reports.

The BS5837 Tree Report is an essential document that provides a proper appreciation of trees within a site. It decides upon their significance and takes into consideration the potential impact that trees might have upon the planned development, and conversely, what impact the development may have upon the trees. It is an extremely essential report that serves to ensure all tree-related matters are appropriately accounted for during the planning and development stages.

Arbor Cultural Ltd specializes in producing high-impact BS5837 Tree Reports compliant with BSI technical recommendations (BS5837:2012). Our reports provide the written technical details required for your application and lead directly into your Tree Constraints Plan (TCP) and Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) across Surrey, Sussex, Kent, and London.

Components of a Professional BS5837 Tree Report

As a verified Consulting Arborist Society (CAS) member, Arbor Cultural Ltd ensures your report enables developers and stakeholders to make informed decisions. We structure our BS5837 Tree Reports to include:

1. The Foundation (Site Data)

We completely document the trees on and adjacent to the site, identifying site levels, soil types, and condition, while considering the impact of lighting and shade on the development.

2. Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA)

Our Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) identifies the relationship between trees and construction, addressing preservation and management methods required for council approval.

3. Tree Constraints Plan (TCP)

Accompanying the report is the Tree Constraints Plan (TCP) illustrating Root Protection Areas (RPAs) and canopy spread.

4. Planning & Supervision

Once permission is gained, we provide the Tree Protection Plan (TPP) and recommend Arboricultural Supervision to satisfy all planning conditions and Finish the Build.
