Tree Surveys in Devon

If trees are present on or close to a proposed development site, the local planning authority may require an arboricultural survey or supporting information as part of the planning process. We can assess the site and advise on the appropriate survey and documentation.

The time required depends on the size of the site and the number of trees. Most surveys can be completed within a few hours to a full day, with reports issued within 5-10 working days.

If a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, permission will usually be required before carrying out works covered by the order. Our team can advise on the process and assist with the appropriate tree work application where required.

Not every tree removal requires a formal survey. However, where there are concerns about the condition of the tree, nearby buildings, protected status, public safety or development work, an assessment may be advisable before any work is planned. Our team can advise on the most appropriate next step.
