What are Tree Surveys?
We assess the size, age, health and life expectancy of a tree during our Tree Surveys in Bolton. Our surveyor can assess the tree so long as the diameter is over 75mm. As part of the tree survey, we provide recommendations on any treatment required by the tree. Also, we state whether or not you should retain the tree on the site and issues any remedial recommendations that are required.
A tree survey is sometimes required as part of a planning application for a development project. This is usually the case if the development will affect the surrounding landscape. Another reason to carry out tree surveys is for insurance purposes for both commercial and domestic clients.
To be suitable for planning applications, tree surveys should be conducted in line with British Standard 5837-2012. This will also ensure that we carry out the survey to the highest standard and complies with relevant regulations.
Occasionally, when tree surveys in Bolton are carried out, the tree is identified as having a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) applied. These can be applied to trees when they are located in a specific area. Alternatively, when a tree has significant amenity value, is rare or is a good specimen they will apply a TPO. Trees with a TPO applied to them require additional documentation and searches. Visit our page on TPO’s for more information.
How do Tree Surveys in Bolton work?
Following your initial contact with us, we will provide you with advice regarding the requirements for the tree survey. We will then arrange for our specialist to complete the survey. You will need to inform us of the amount of trees on the site to get a cost.
The specialist consultant will visit the site to carry out the survey and take any required measurements. If required, the consultant will meet with you onsite. This will help ensure that we incorporate any requirements for the survey into the report.
The tree survey report will then be put together and sent in the form of a PDF within 48 hours of the site visit. See more about our tree surveys here.
