Services
Tree Surveys
Our tree surveys identify protected species, assess structural integrity, and evaluate disease risks. Conducted by qualified arboriculturists, these assessments support planning applications and development projects. Surveys include stem diameter measurements, crown spread analysis, and recommendations for tree retention or removal.
Ecology Surveys
We conduct Phase 1 habitat surveys and protected species evaluations to identify ecological constraints. Our ecologists assess biodiversity value and advise on mitigation strategies. Surveys cover bats, badgers, newts, and other protected species to ensure planning compliance.
Measured Surveys
Using advanced equipment, we create accurate site plans showing buildings, utilities, and terrain features. These surveys form the basis for development designs and planning submissions. Deliverables include scaled drawings and digital models for construction projects.
BS5837 Surveys
Our BS5837-compliant surveys evaluate tree constraints for development sites. Reports include tree condition assessments, root protection areas, and design recommendations. These assessments help secure planning permission by demonstrating compliance with arboricultural standards.
Habitat Surveys
We identify habitat types and ecological value through detailed site inspections. Surveys inform biodiversity net gain calculations and mitigation plans. Our reports help developers meet environmental obligations while minimising project delays.
