A tree survey in Petersfield is required for three situations: planning applications near protected trees, mortgage lenders flagging trees on site, and insurance assessment of subsidence risk.
East Hampshire Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications where trees stand within influencing distance of proposed development. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or wilful damage to a protected tree without council consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a surveyor flags trees close to the property during the valuation survey. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports, and without one the lender withholds funds until it is provided.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil, causing the ground to shrink and foundations to move, a process insurers call subsidence risk. The report insurers request identifies species, assesses root spread and sets management recommendations before cover is agreed.
Three types of tree survey are available in Petersfield: Tree Condition Reports for general health 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, landlords and property managers request this report to identify hazards, disease and required tree work.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation surveyor identifies trees close to a property during a house purchase or remortgage. The report satisfies the requirements of major UK lenders before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into grades U, A, B and C, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. East Hampshire Council requires this survey for planning submissions affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification, and a condition assessment. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Petersfield takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report, with a 1 to 3 hour site visit. A 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Petersfield depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the site size. The surveyor provides a fixed quote before the site 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 the survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by East Hampshire Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
