BS 5837 Surveys are a planning requirement whenever trees may be impacted by proposed development. Our experienced surveyors produce a tree constraints plan of the site and collect all information needed to prepare the required reports for planning.

An AIA report is needed for validation of your planning application and evaluates the direct and indirect impacts of proposed development on the trees identified in the BS 5837 Survey. Our consultants work with you throughout the design process, providing concise advice and pragmatic solutions to tree-related issues wherever possible. The AIA report contains a tree protection plan, which shows how retained trees will be protected during the development.

An AMS report is a technical specification of the mitigation needed to protect retained trees during the proposed development, as identified in the tree protection plan. An AMS is often required as a planning condition, to evidence to the Local Planning Authority that site-specific tree protection will be implemented and monitored by an arboriculturist during the development.
