Trees & Building Development

The British Standard BS5837:2012 (Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction) recommends steps that should be taken to ensure that trees are appropriately and successfully retained when a development takes place.

When ruling on planning applications, the Local Planning Authority will take all trees on, or in close proximity to, a proposed development site, into consideration regardless of their protected status.

Whether it is for a small domestic extension or an entire new housing development, at Fishlock's Tree Service we have extensive experience of dealing with planning applications, carrying out Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIA) and creating Tree Protection Plans (TPP).

Our specialist arboricultural consultancy service includes overseeing development works and liaising with the council, developers and contractors at every stage during the construction, to ensure the management of trees on site complies with the guidelines and your development progresses smoothly toward prompt completion.
