Arborist Reports for Planners

Collaborative arboricultural input that helps you navigate the consent process.

The evidence your application needs

Our arborist reports for planners answer the tree questions that come up on almost every application. What trees are on the property? Must they, or could they, be retained? What are the potential effects, and how can they be avoided, remedied or mitigated? We give you clear, defensible answers to put in front of the consenting authority.

The Tree Consultancy Company has worked collaboratively on hundreds of developments — from two-lot subdivisions up to 400-lot residential and commercial schemes — helping planners navigate the consent application process from the outset.
