How to Get a Tree Survey for Planning

Castledine Environmental offers a full suite of arboricultural consultancy services to support planning applications, construction projects, and environmental management. If your site includes trees, you'll likely need a BS5837 Tree Survey to meet planning requirements-and we're here to help.

Our experienced consultants carry out tree surveys and prepare a range of supporting documents, including:

Tree Constraints Plans

Arboricultural Impact Assessments

Tree Protection Plans

Arboricultural Method Statements

We assess tree condition, categorise each tree according to BS5837 standards, and evaluate potential impacts from development activities. Our reports help inform site layouts, identify trees to be retained or removed, and guide construction teams in tree protection best practices.

We work closely with developers, planners, architects, and contractors to ensure tree-related planning conditions are fulfilled promptly and professionally. Our team also advises on mitigation, tree planting, and tree management where needed.

Whether your site is in a conservation area, contains trees with TPOs, or simply needs a planning-compliant report, Castledine Environmental delivers clear, efficient solutions tailored to your timeline and budget.
