At Hallwood Associates, we provide expert support and advice from feasibility to detailed design for developers, the construction industry and homeowners.
According to the British Standard “Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction – Recommendations” BS5837:2012 (BS5837) appropriate measures should be taken to assess existing trees on and adjacent to a site when any new development is proposed. To ensure better design and layout, certain tree data; including species, age, crown spread/height, Root Protection Areas (RPA’s), and general condition are required.
Depending on the scale and stage of your application, the Local Planning Authority will expect to see supporting arboricultural surveys and reports before even validating your application.
Our tree surveys for planning services are aligned with the RIBA stages (Royal institute of British Architects) which enables seamless dove-tailing into your design team or architect.
We are a market-leading and efficient arboricultural consultancy service. We pride ourselves on a fast service that does not compromise on standards. Furthermore we guarantee our work – if your planning application is refused on arboricultural grounds we offer a full refund or will undertake additional work free of charge until approved.

From home-owners and smaller sites to larger, higher density developments - our dedicated team will be on-hand to offer guidance and support to ensure that all planning application stages follow the processes set out in British Standard BS5837:2012.
Local planning authorities are increasingly scrutinising the arboricultural impact that a proposed development has on a site.
Applicants who fail to submit the relevant arboricultural surveys and reports can find the progress of their development slowed – often at a high cost.
By hiring our team of arboricultural experts for your tree surveying needs, we can prevent this from happening and speed up your project’s development by reducing the likelihood of objection or query from the Local Planning Authority.
If there are any trees (or hedges) within or immediately adjacent (typically within falling distance) of your site, or access to your site, then yes. Get in touch now and we can confirm if you will require a tree survey or not.
We typically complete our tree survey with five days of instruction, but this will be dependent on site access and provision of relevant plans in advance. Get in touch and we can confirm.
We encourage anyone who has used our service and wishes to leave a review through our website or find us on social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter.
Doing so lets others know about your experience – which broadens our reach and increases our reputation as arboricultural consultants that customers can trust.
