Construction

We have handled thousands of trees on development sites in relation to projects of all sizes, from small domestic extensions to large commercial sites. For example:

• the (successful!) retention of a large London plane tree, inches from a new development adjoining The Deanery of St. Paul's Cathedral, London
• a major road construction project in one of London's premier residential areas, Kensington Palace Gardens and Palace Green, where substantial mature London plane trees were successfully retained throughout

Architects, town planning consultants and developers all use our services. Our reports 'talk the language' that local authority planning departments speak. We provide assessments according to BS 5837:2005 'Trees in relation to construction - Recommendations'. These enable you to maximise the value of your site, by, for example, identifying trees that may look sound and healthy but are in fact not safe to retain. Trees retained in good condition can add as much as 15-20% to the sale value of the finished development. By enabling you to retain the right tree in the right place, a valuable and enduring gift to the future is made.

If you feel you may have need of our advice in such a matter, please contact us.
