Planning Support from Start to Submission
If you are extending your home or developing land in Chislehurst, trees can influence layout, access and foundation design. We assess tree category, canopy spread and root protection areas, helping your design team understand potential constraints early.
Our approach is straightforward:
Visit the site and record accurate measurements.
Categorise trees in accordance with British Standards.
Identify development constraints and protection requirements.
Produce supporting documentation suitable for submission.
By addressing arboricultural requirements at the outset, you reduce the likelihood of revisions later in the process.
Managing Risk and Responsibility
Property owners have a duty of care to manage trees responsibly. Structural weaknesses, disease, soil disturbance or proximity to buildings may increase risk if not properly monitored.
We carry out detailed visual inspections that consider:
Stem integrity and visible decay
Crown structure and vitality
Ground conditions and root stability
Target areas such as roads, paths and buildings
Where management is recommended, we explain the reasoning clearly so you can make proportionate decisions.
Tree Preservation Orders and Conservation Area Advice
Certain trees in Chislehurst may be protected by Tree Preservation Orders or located within conservation areas. Carrying out work without consent can result in enforcement action.
We assist by:
Confirming protection status
Preparing formal applications
Providing technical justification where required
Communicating with the relevant local authority
Our role is to confirm compliance and offering practical options that respect both regulation and site requirements.
