Tree Surveys in the Peak District
We have been completing a number of tree surveys and tree health checks in the beautiful Peak District specifically near Buxton.
What do Tree Surveys in the Peak District Include?
A tree survey involves us working to the BS5837:2012 standard. This means that our surveys are compliant, and they are covered by our £5million Professional Indemnity Insurance for further peace of mind. They typically include a detailed plan identifying where the tree is located, tree measurements including canopy, trunk and root zone. They also include a plan and details on where to situate a tree protection fence to ensure the protection of the roots.
These tree surveys are often used in planning applications as the council often request them when an extension or new build is planned to take place. Their objective to make sure that no damage will occur to the tree canopy or its root zone. As such we can advise on different methods to achieve the desired build whilst protecting the tree(s) and appeasing the Arboricultural Officer with regards planning constraints.
What is a Tree Condition Survey?
Tree condition surveys are based on a standard tree survey; however, they are bias toward the health of the tree and identifying any potential issues. This is done with the objective to firstly make sure the tree is safe and secondly to ensure the ongoing health of the tree. Tree condition surveys are particularly useful if the tree overhangs a pedestrian walkway or a playground as the Health and Safety executive can, and has, taken a number of people to court when a branch has come off a tree and injured a person.
How much should Tree Surveys in the Peak District cost?
The price varies but typically the price will be between £500 and £250. However, this will increase depending on the number of trees, accessibility, and what type of survey you require. For example, many people will need an Arboricultural Impact Assessment as well as the initial tree survey and this can add to the price.
