Tree surveys and constraints plans
Trees are fundamental to our wellbeing and quality of life, whether in an urban or rural context. They secure many environmental, economic and social benefits when planned and managed appropriately.

How tree surveys work...
Tree surveys don’t have to be a big hassle, as Wharton makes the entire process as quick and stress-free as possible. Once you’ve answered a few questions over the phone and sent us details of the site, we provide you with a competitive quote that’s tailored to your exact needs. We’re sure that you’ll love our price, which is then followed up by a visit to carry out the tree survey and preparation of your report.
Current best practice guidance for the relationship between trees and development is provided by BS5837: 2012 Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction. Working closely with other members of a development design team, we can undertake all of the stages required to successfully deliver a development scheme in relation to trees.
The four key phases of tree surveys for Planning ApplicationS
01
Pre-planning
Topographical, tree and ecology constraints surveys and inspections allow you to understand what will affect your planning application and be required by the local planning authority. It enables you to budget accurately and manage seasonal surveys effectively.
03
Post-planning
The Arboricultural Method Statement, Tree Protection Plan and Protected Species Licence go into further detail, describing how construction can go ahead without damaging the natural environment to discharge planning conditions. These documents cover all aspects of the project, such as a schedule of works and how the work will be carried out.
02
Planning application
We then provide the necessary technical reports whether these be arboricultural impact assessment or detailed ecological impact assessment to enable the Local Planning Authority to make a positive decision on your application. The reports explain the situation, and outline any obstacles and actions that need taking into account. We will work with you and your architect to ensure planning permission is achieved.
04
Site implementation
We will be with you every step of the way to ensure that your construction team is fully aware of the technical nature of your project. This ensures that you will not cause physical harm or damage to either site trees or ecology and that all construction processes agreed through Licence or planning conditions are adhered to. This ultimately ensures the plans on paper are delivered in reality on the ground.

A topographical survey, or land survey, is a site assessment with accurate measurements and a record of any physical features. It includes the levels and contours across the survey area, and also the features within it.
Ecology surveys are required when a building or area that’s set to be transformed has species of wildlife that call it their home.
