A tree survey in Street is required for three situations: a planning application near protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees on the property, or an insurance claim linked to subsidence risk.
Somerset Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order makes it a criminal offence to fell, top, lop or damage a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a valuation surveyor flags trees within influencing distance of the property. Without one, the lender withholds funds until the report clears. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports.
Tree roots extract moisture from the ground, causing shrinkable clay soils to shrink and foundations to move. Insurers require a report identifying species, assessing root spread and setting management recommendations before settling a subsidence claim.
Three survey types are available in Street: 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 risk of individual trees on a property. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request this report to identify hazards and management needs.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees close to the property boundary. This report satisfies major UK lender requirements before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into grades A to U, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. 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 in scope, species identification and condition assessment. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Street takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours. A 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Street depends on the survey type, the number of trees on site and the overall site size. 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.
Consultants qualified in arboriculture carry out every survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Somerset Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
