Tree Risk Surveys, Assessment & Management
Trees situated close to property or on publicly accessible land present potential risk to both personal and public safety. Landowners are responsible for damage or injury caused by trees on their land and have a duty of care to prevent foreseeable harm occurring to people from any hazardous trees situated on their property. Trees need to be assessed regularly and managed to keep risks of causing harm or injury low.
Tree Safety Management Policy & Strategy
Treework Environmental Practice have long standing experience in developing and reviewing policy and strategy to help Landowners meet their duty of care in relation to trees and public safety. Our experience includes the management of over 30,000 trees across the UK from planting plan, through inspection and monitoring to administering contracts of works. This list below illustrates a typical process through which we work with landowners to draw up defendable systems for managing their trees within the context of their particular sites.
Planning and Development Surveys and Assistance Services
All trees, regardless of their protected status, can be a material consideration in a planning application. The British Standard `Trees in relation to construction - Recommendations` BS5837:2012 recommends the steps that should be taken to ensure that trees are appropriately and successfully retained when a development takes place. This means that where there are trees either on site or within close proximity to the site the Local Planning Authority will consider them when making decisions on planning applications for that site and planning applications should follow the processes set out in BS5837:2012.Ecological Surveys and Consultancy Services
