Arboliculture

We provide fully compliant BS5837:2012 Tree Survey services, by qualified members of the Arboricultural Association with over 12 years experience in the industry. In addition to the on-site tree survey, we provide a survey document which also includes a tree survey plan, tree and hedgerow schedule as well as necessary up to date information regarding Tree Preservation Orders, Conservations Areas and on-site information. 

With the aid of the Tree Survey information we can help to progress proposed development layouts to satisfy LPA requirements. 

We prepare Arboricultural Impact Assessments to demonstrate the estimated impact on the tree resource from development proposals, including Tree Retention/Loss plans and Tree Protection Plans. We also provide Arboricultural Method Statements to give more detailed information on how the retained tree resource is to be protected during demolition and construction of the development.

Our team has a TechArborA arboricultural association qualification, as well as DipLA CMLI landscape qualification. This allows us to provide a wider breadth of arboricultural advice for planning submission.  Continued professional development is important to HCUK Group to further broaden our range of services. Current areas of study within our Environment Team includes a VetCert qualification, which is an EU wide certification for harmonising skills and knowledge recognition in veteran tree management.
