BS5837 Surveys

For planning and design

We provide practical support throughout all stages of the planning and development process. identifying potential constraints early and front-loading solutions through coordinated design advice, consultant-led CAD support, and streamlined planning submissions, we integrate build methodology into our Arboricultural Impact Assessments. This ensures arboricultural matters are addressed clearly at submission, reducing avoidable queries during determination.

Planning support at each stage of development

01 / Pre-design

Initial Survey and Constraints

Initial surveys and pre-site feasibility reports identifying constraints in accordance with BS5837. Constraints plans are produced by the consultants who conducted the survey and provided in DWG and PDF formats.

02 / During design

Design feasibility and arboricultural input

We are on hand to provide proportionate arboricultural input during the design stage to test layouts against tree constraints and inform design decisions, ensuring the layout is arboriculturally acceptable before the AIA is commissioned.

03 / Submission stage

Planning submission support

AIA / AMS

Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIAs) and Method Statements (AMSs) prepared to support planning submissions and compliance, with Tree Protection Plans provided in DWG and PDF format.

04 / Construction stage

Site monitoring and auditing

We provide Project Arboriculturalists to fulfil planning conditions and provide a written record of AMS compliance to be submitted to the LPA.

Why work with Tree Check?

Consultant-led plans

We view CAD capability as an integral part of tree surveying. For this reason, the same arboricultural consultants who visit the site prepare the plans, improving consistency and reducing the risk of misinterpretation.

Experience across sectors

We have experience across infrastructure, renewables, high-profile sports facilities, commercial sites and residential developments, helping us anticipate conflicts between proposals and existing trees at an early stage.

Front-loaded solutions

We focus on addressing arboricultural matters as early as possible, helping to reduce uncertainty during determination and limiting the need for additional clarification later in the process.

Hands-on support

We work as part of the wider project team, providing timely arboricultural input as proposals evolve and supporting projects through determination and into construction where required.
