Why do I need a BS5837 tree survey for planning carried out?
If you are applying for planning permission, whether it be for a small extension to your house or developing land to build a new housing estate, then you will need to take in to account the impacts the proposed works will have on the surrounding trees. This is why a tree survey is a critical piece of a planning application to be submitted to the authorities.
A tree survey should be undertaken to ascertain the quality of the trees, based on a set criteria laid out in British Standard 5837: Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction. The trees are then plotted on a map known as a tree constraints plan.
When the proposed layout is known, an Arboricultural Impact Assessment BS5837 tree report is created in to ascertain whether any of the trees will be adversely affected by the development.
Once the Arboricultural Assessment is complete, if the trees are affected by the development an Arboricultural Method Statement is produced that outlines the solutions to mitigate any issues. As part of the BS5837 survey, a plan is produced that outlines the extent of any protective fencing, ground protection or any of the other mitigation measures.

It is a good idea to have someone complete a tree risk assessment report. By getting the advice of a professional to either have the tree removed or having the risk that the tree poses assessed then if an accident was to occur you can show that you have consulted a professional in regards to the matter and show that you have fulfilled your duty of care.
Tree Mortgage Report
A mortgage lender for a house purchase may ask for a tree mortgage report to be carried out before signing of a loan. This can be requested because they want to asses trees in the grounds of the property that may cause a risk to the structure of the property.

You will need to give your local planning authority six weeks notice before doing work on any trees that are located in the conservation area but are not yet subject to a tree preservation order. The six weeks notice gives the authority time to consider if an tree protection order (TPO) should be made against certain trees.
If a Tree Preservation Order is made be a local planning authority in England to protect specific trees it prohibits cutting down, topping, lopping, uprooting, wilful damage or destruction of trees without the local planning authorities consent. If they do give consent, it can be subject to conditions.
