Tree matters

Trees are an important factor to take into when considering new development. Most planning authorities will now request tree reports to accompany new submissions as part of their validation procedures. Not submitting a properly prepared report will result in delays to the project at best and refusal of a proposal at worst.

We are extremely fortunate to have a qualified arborist within the Prism family and can provide expert tree advice to suit the project. Because we understand the planning process as well, we can make sure that the advice we provide is targetted precisely at getting the approvals you need.

Thoroughly understanding the impact of trees on a development proposal can also help you consider what level of constraint they might pose. This can save time and uncessary expense. We can usually turn your requests around within a matter of days, helping you make sound decisions

Of course its not just developers who need advice on trees. Many of us live with large trees in our gardens or land we own. Its generally a good idea to have your trees inspected regulaly to make sure they are in good health and not becoming a liability. When necessary the controlled removal of a tree is usually far less costly than the clear up costs of it coming down on its own!

We can then offer you practical help on selecting replacement trees for the benefit of future generations and the environment.
