Arboricultural Services for Property Developers

At Connick Tree Care, we help property developers and building contractors overcome the challenges that trees can pose on development sites. Whether you’re planning a new build, extension or renovation, early arboricultural input can save time, reduce costs and streamline planning permission.

Trees and Planning Permission

Trees are a common constraint in development. The most frequent issues are their proximity to the proposed works or their legal protection through a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or Conservation Area status.

Planning authorities often request a tree survey and an Arboricultural Impact Assessment and Method Statement (AIAMS) as part of a planning application. Connick Tree Care’s Arboricultural Consultancy team has extensive experience supporting developers with this process across the South East.

Get It Right First Time

Getting expert arboricultural advice early in your project makes all the difference. For example, if a structure is to be built on ground where root growth is restricted, standard foundations may still be viable. Our consultants can assess the site, recommend investigations such as trial trenches, and provide robust documentation to support your application.

With the right evidence and reporting, standard construction methods may be approved without the need for costly bespoke engineering solutions.
