Development & Construction Consultancy

Successful development requires careful consideration of existing trees from the earliest design stages through to project completion. Our Development & Construction Consultancy services provide expert arboricultural advice to developers, architects, planners, engineers, contractors, and landowners, helping projects progress smoothly while meeting planning and environmental requirements.

We work closely with project teams to identify tree-related constraints, minimise development impacts, and ensure compliance with planning conditions and industry standards. Our practical, commercially focused approach helps reduce delays, manage risks, and protect valuable tree assets throughout the construction process.

Whether you are undertaking a residential development, commercial project, infrastructure scheme, or site redevelopment, we provide professional arboricultural support at every stage of the project lifecycle.

Supporting the Planning Process

Trees can have a significant influence on site design and planning outcomes. Our consultants work proactively with design teams to identify opportunities and constraints early, helping to create development proposals that balance project objectives with tree retention and environmental considerations.

We provide clear, technically robust reports prepared in accordance with BS5837:2012 and local planning authority requirements.

Construction Phase Support

Protecting retained trees during construction is essential to avoid planning breaches, project delays, and long-term tree damage. We provide ongoing support throughout the construction phase, including:

Tree protection monitoring
Toolbox talks and contractor briefings
Arboricultural supervision of sensitive works
Site inspections and compliance reporting
Advice on unforeseen site issues

Our involvement helps ensure that tree protection measures are implemented correctly and remain effective throughout the project.
