A tree survey in West Bridgford is required for three situations: planning applications near protected trees, mortgage lenders flagging trees on a property, and insurance assessment of subsidence risk.
Planning applications affecting trees require a BS5837 survey when Rushcliffe Council identifies trees protected under a Tree Preservation Order. The order prevents felling, pruning or root damage without council consent.
Mortgage lender requirements arise when a valuer identifies trees close to a property during a mortgage application. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC withhold funds until a tree report confirms no structural risk.
Insurance and subsidence risk arise when tree roots draw moisture from soil close to a building's foundations, causing shrinkage. Insurers require a report identifying species, assessing root spread and setting management recommendations before issuing cover.
Tree surveys in West Bridgford include three types: Tree Condition Reports for health and safety assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of individual trees. Homeowners, insurers and property managers request one to identify hazards or disease.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuer flags trees close to a property during a mortgage application. The report satisfies requirements set by major UK lenders before funds release.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on a site into quality categories, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Rushcliffe Council specifies this format for planning applications involving 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 includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in West Bridgford takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit itself takes 1 to 3 hours, and a 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
