What is a BS5837 Tree Report?
A BS5837 Tree Report is an arboricultural assessment that is prepared according to the guidelines set out in the British Standard BS 5837:2012. It provides detailed information about the trees on a development site and how they may be affected by construction activity. The report includes a tree survey, tree constraints plan, and tree protection plan, along with professional recommendations for minimizing damage to trees and their root zones during the construction process.
The report covers various aspects, including:
- Tree Survey: A detailed survey that includes the species, age, height, canopy spread, condition, and specific measurements for each tree on the site.
- Root Protection Area (RPA): Identifying the critical root zone of each tree and recommending how to protect these areas during construction.
- Tree Constraints Plan: A map showing the location of all trees on site, highlighting their Root Protection Areas (RPAs), and any site limitations or encroachments.
- Tree Protection Plan (TPP): A practical plan for protecting trees during construction, ensuring that the RPAs are properly fenced off and that construction activity does not cause undue harm.
When Do You Need a BS5837 Tree Report?
- Planning Applications: Local authorities often require BS5837 tree surveys as part of the planning process to assess the impact of your development on trees and determine if tree protection measures are necessary.
- Construction Projects: Whether you’re building a new home, office building, or infrastructure, a BS5837 report ensures that your construction work adheres to tree protection guidelines.
- Landscaping & Development: If you’re altering or developing your landscape, a BS5837 report can provide guidance on how to incorporate existing trees into the design while avoiding damage.
- Change of Use: If your property is changing its use or being redeveloped, a tree survey is often required to assess the impact on existing trees.
