Tree Surgery for Property Developers in Hampshire
Keep trees off the critical path. From BS 5837 surveys and reports — produced in-house — to on-site protection and enabling works, we take you from planning to practical completion with one accountable team.
Trees shouldn’t hold up your development
On most sites, trees are a planning condition, a protected constraint, or a protection requirement that has to be right before and during construction. Get it wrong and applications stall and programmes slip. We handle the whole tree picture — reports and works — so it doesn’t.
BS 5837 surveys & reports
We produce the tree survey, constraints plan, impact assessment and method statement your application needs to be validated.
Protection & enabling works
Protective fencing, ground protection and no-dig working, plus enabling felling and clearance — all delivered to the agreed method statement.
Discharging conditions
We carry out the conditioned tree works and provide the evidence to discharge them, liaising with the LPA tree officer throughout.
BS 5837 surveys, produced in-house
Where there are trees on or next to a site, the planning authority treats them as a material consideration and won’t validate an application without the right documents. We produce all of them — no outsourcing, no coordination gap:
Because the same team that writes the reports also carries out the works, what’s specified on paper is exactly what happens on the ground.
Protection and enabling works that keep you on programme
- Protective fencing and ground protection installed to the method statement
- No-dig working within Root Protection Areas to safeguard retained trees
- Enabling felling and vegetation clearance to facilitate the approved design
- Stump removal and site tidy-up
- Coordination around ecology — e.g. no felling in nesting-bird season without checks
- Replacement and mitigation planting where conditioned, with Biodiversity Net Gain in mind
One team, from the survey to the last load away
No coordination gap
Reports and works under one roof means nothing gets lost between consultant and contractor.
Programme certainty
We phase enabling works and protection around your construction timeline and turn around quickly.
Fully documented
Fully insured, with the photographic and written evidence you need to discharge conditions cleanly.
We work with housebuilders, main contractors, civil engineers, architects, planning consultants and self-builders across Hampshire.
