Planning & Development Arboricultural Advice

Trees are often a key consideration within the planning and development process. Where development proposals interact with existing trees, appropriate arboricultural input helps ensure that trees are properly considered and that schemes can progress through planning with clarity and confidence.

Thrive Tree Consultancy provides BS5837 tree surveys and arboricultural reports to support planning applications and development proposals across Cambridge and East Anglia. Supporting architects, home owners, landscape architects, developers and planning consultants through the design and planning process.

How can Thrive help you?

Thrive supports planning and development projects through the provision of arboricultural surveys and reports including:

  • BS5837 tree surveys

  • Tree Constraints Plans (TCP)

  • Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIA)

  • Arboricultural Method Statements (AMS)

  • Tree Protection Plans (TPP)

Arboricultural input can be provided throughout the design process, from early feasibility and site appraisal through to detailed design and construction stages in line with the RIBA Plan of Work.

Advice is practical, proportionate and grounded in an understanding of how sites are designed, consented and ultimately constructed, helping project teams navigate tree constraints while developing workable and deliverable schemes.
