Development Control Specialists
Do you need a BS5837 tree report for
planning permission in Elmbridge?
The authoritative BS5837 Tree Report and Impact Assessment. We provide the technical evidence required to satisfy Elmbridge Borough Council and secure your Planning Permission.
Assessing the Impact of Buildings on Trees
Securing Planning Permission in the premier development zones of Weybridge, Cobham, and Esher requires a specialized approach. Elmbridge Borough Council maintains rigorous standards for tree protection. Your BS5837 tree report must be a technical masterpiece that clearly defines the impact of the building on trees. We do not provide mortgage or insurance reports; our focus is 100% on Development Control.
The BS5837:2012 standard exists to assess and prevent damage to trees from construction. Initially, this is achieved through the design phase by utilizing a Tree Constraints Plan (TCP) to map Root Protection Areas (RPA). By integrating these constraints early, your architect can design a compliant footprint that tree officers will approve. We deliver exactly what you have been asked for to ensure your application is validated and successful.

The Path to Construction
1. Initial Design
Preventing damage begins at the drawing board. Our tree report informs the initial footprint, ensuring the impact of the building is minimized and the design is viable for Elmbridge approval.
2. Permission
Securing Planning Permission is your primary pain point. We provide the Arboricultural Impact Assessment required to overcome council objections in Oxshott or Claygate.
3. Discharging
After consent, you must discharge planning conditions. We produce the Method Statements and TPP required to clear the pre-commencement hurdles in Walton or Hersham.
4. Build Supervision
Later in the process, we provide Arboricultural Supervision and Clerk of Works services to monitor the build and ensure the protection of trees is maintained to full specification.

Elmbridge Planning Expert Insights
Why is BS5837 different from a mortgage survey?
It is vital not to confuse the two. Mortgage/Insurance surveys assess the impact of trees on buildings. BS5837 is the opposite: it assesses the impact of buildings on trees. Councils in Elmbridge only accept BS5837 reports for development and planning applications.
What is the main goal of the BS5837 tree report?
The primary goal is to secure Planning Permission. The report provides the technical Impact Assessment required to satisfy tree officers that the proposed construction will not cause damage to protected specimens.
Can I discharge planning conditions with this report?
Yes. Once consent is granted, we provide the Arboricultural Method Statements and Tree Protection Plans required to legally discharge planning conditions so your build can safely commence on-site.
