Arboricultural Surveys
As Climate Change becomes an important issue for the planet, governments and individuals become more aware that, as trees grow, they help stop climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.
An Arboricultural Survey is a specialised survey that helps to promote the growth of healthy shrubs and trees, or highlight damage caused by growing roots.
Surveys can be conducted for several reasons, including:
Subsidence: An Arboricultural Survey can be commissioned if you suspect tree roots are affecting the structure of a wall or building. Tree roots can affect the foundation of buildings as they develop up to or around a structure. They can cause dampness in structures, subsidence, or if they dislodge they can break sewage pipes. If you have a subsidence issue, you may need a Structural Engineer to carry out an inspection and advise on remdial action.
Planning Consent: Trees offer many benefits. They are aesthetically pleasing, environmentally beneficial and can also be home to a variety of wildlife. This being the case, many Local Authorities are protecting trees with Tree Preservation Orders (TPO). Removal of a tree which is the subject of a Tree Preservation Order without permission from the Local Authority could result in action being brought against the offender. Where Planning Permission is being sought, new development plans should take into account any trees on or near the site. An Arboricultural Survey, which should comply with BS5837 2012 would make recommendations as to which trees should be retained so that planning permission is more likely to be granted. Many Local Authorities now employ an Arboricultural Officer who can advise on such matters.
Personal Safety: Both private and public property owners also have a responsibility to ensure that trees on their land do not pose a risk to the safety of others. At various stages of their life, trees can be vulnerable to pests and diseases or damage from storms or adverse weather conditions which could make them unsafe. Regular inspections of trees can ensure that they are not allowed to deteriorate into a dangerous condition.
House Purchase: An Arboricultural Survey is often required by a mortgage lender or insurer prior to the purchase of a property. Such a survey offers these organisations reassurance that any trees on or near a property are not going to pose a threat to the structure or cause harm to anyone in your home or on your land.
