Plant life on a site can significantly impact land development, planning decisions, and legal obligations. A legal plant report ensures that you’re informed about protected species, invasive plants, and vegetation-related risks — helping you stay compliant and avoid costly delays or enforcement action.
At ProHort, we provide expert plant surveys and legal reports that meet national planning and environmental regulations.
A plant or vegetation report may be legally necessary if:
Protected species (e.g. bluebells, orchids) may be present
You’re applying for planning permission or land development approval
Invasive species (e.g. Japanese Knotweed, Giant Hogweed) are suspected
Vegetation impacts boundaries or causes disputes
Trees and hedgerows may be subject to preservation orders (TPOs)
Local authorities or lenders request an ecological survey
There is a risk of damage to property, drainage, or infrastructure
We provide legal plant reports for:
Developers & Planning Consultants
Landowners & Estate Agents
Architects & Landscape Designers
Local Authorities & Housing Associations
