An Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) is a written tree report to support your planning application following the guidance and recommendations of BS5837:2012.
It considers all the direct and indirect impacts of a design proposal on trees within the development area and is prepared following on from the Pre-Planning Tree Survey.
Through us working with you we aim to achieve a good balance between the natural and built environments, whether this be for green or brownfield sites, house extensions or strategic land development.
Our strength comes from our inherent understanding of what we need to do to comply with legislation, policy, and what Local Planning Authorities require.
Most importantly we understand what you need to achieve to make a development viable.
How can we help you?
The assessment outlines those trees that need to be removed and those to be retained
It highlights any potential impacts from a planning point of view, plus any recommendations for working within tree protection zones such as root protection areas.
This assessment should accompany and be submitted with a planning application to the Council to meet with national and local validation criteria.
The AIA will enable the council to make an informed and judged decision on the planning application.
