Arboricultural Method Statement (AMS)

What is an Arboricultural Method Statement ?

Arboricultural method statements are often a requirement of planning permission on sites containing trees. This is document that outlines step by step instructions relating to tree works and tree protection measures to be implemented during construction process

The Arboricultural Method Statement is crafted in a straightforward format for distribution to operatives during the construction phase. It encompasses all necessary information for contractors to ensure complete protection of trees throughout the construction period. Our Arboricultural Method Statements not only detail the protective measures to be taken but also specify the construction stages at which they should be applied. Additionally, we provide tree planting specifications if required for the project.

The local planning authority may conduct site inspections during construction to verify the implementation of tree protection measures. To facilitate these inspections without issues, the Arboricultural Method Statement will include the pertinent Tree Constraint Plans and Tree Protection Plans. By making sure that every operative on the construction site has read, comprehended, and signed the Arboricultural Method Statement, the likelihood of proper execution of tree protection measures is significantly enhanced.
