A tree survey in Bath is required for three situations: planning applications near protected trees, mortgage lenders flagging trees on site, and insurance concerns over subsidence risk.
Bath and North East Somerset Council reviews tree impact on any planning application affecting trees on site. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or root damage without council consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a valuation flags trees within influencing distance of the property. Without one, the lender withholds funds until the risk is assessed. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept reports meeting this requirement.
Tree roots draw moisture from clay soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to move. Insurers require a report identifying the species, assessing root spread, and setting out management recommendations before renewing cover.
Bath property owners choose between three survey types: Tree Condition Reports for general risk assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request one to identify hazards and set out management action.
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes necessary when a lender's valuation surveyor flags trees near the property during a home purchase. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before funds release.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site by quality and value, sets root protection areas, and produces a tree constraints plan. Bath and North East Somerset Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification and condition assessment. The written report sets out recommendations with photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Bath takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Bath depends on the survey type, the number of trees, and the size of the site. The quote is fixed before the visit takes place.
The fixed price covers the site visit, the full written report, and follow-up questions at no extra cost.
