Arbor Consulting has grown rapidly and established itself as one of the country’s leading arboricultural consultancies with a reputation for authoritative advice, combined with a prompt, efficient and cost-effective tree survey service.
We do not undertake tree surgery work and therefore our assessments and any necessary tree work recommendations are completely unbiased and impartial.
Planning Applications
Planning applications involving development that may affect existing trees will commonly require a tree survey and arboricultural report to support the application.
Risk Assessment
Tree safety management is a matter of balancing the ‘Risk of Harm’ from falling trees with the benefits from trees. Although it may seem counterintuitive, the condition of trees should not be the first consideration.
Veteran Trees
Veteran trees are a significant part of the historic, cultural and ecological heritage treasured by many generations; in the past, because of their economic and social value or as elements of picturesque or romantic landscapes and more recently as a result of our increased understanding of their considerable ecological importance.
Mortgage Reports
Most of the major lenders require a report from a tree surveyor to state that there is no reason, from an arboricultural perspective, that a mortgage cannot be provided on a property. Mortgage providers may request an arboricultural report to assess whether nearby trees present a material risk of direct or indirect damage to the property.
Health and Condition Surveys
We undertake the systematic recording of key measurements and observations to inform the ongoing management and maintenance of your trees. Our condition survey report provides a clear and comprehensive account of our findings, sets out professional recommendations, and outlines practical measures to mitigate risk and manage liability, thereby supporting well-informed and confident decision-making.
TPO/Conservation Area Works Applications
Legislation is in place to protect trees of merit or value within our communities. Throughout the country, surveys relating to trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or those situated within a Conservation Area are specialist arboricultural assessments prepared by qualified arboriculturists.
