What are Tree Surveys?

Tree Surveys in Conwy, North Wales, help to assess the size, health, life expectancy and age of a tree. Surveys can be carried out on trees with a diameter larger than 75mm. As part of your tree survey report, we give advice on any treatment required by the tree. This includes whether or not the tree should be retained on site.

There are many reasons to require a tree survey in Conwy, North Wales. But the most common is that tree surveys are often required as part of a planning application. This is particularly the case for development projects, especially when the project is likely to affect the surrounding landscape. Alternatively, tree surveys may be requested for insurance purposes in both commercial and domestic cases.

To be suitable for planning applications, tree surveys in North Wales and throughout the UK need to be conducted in line with British Standard 5837-2012. This helps to ensure the survey is carried out to the highest standard and complies with all relevant regulations.

Sometimes, when carrying out tree surveys in Conwy, a tree is identified as having a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). These can be applied to trees located in a specific area or when a tree has significant amenity value, is rare or is a good specimen. Trees with a TPO applied to them require additional documentation and searches. Visit our TPO page for more information.
