Cyclical Tree Inspection Programme — Cardinal Newman Roman Catholic High School
Client: Cardinal Newman Roman Catholic High School
Project Overview: Cardinal Newman RC High School appointed Urban Tree Management to deliver a two-yearly cyclical tree inspection programme covering over 50 trees and groups across the school grounds and boundaries. On commencing the 2026 inspection it became apparent that a number of trees had been subject to unauthorised works by an unknown party.
Our Role: Urban Tree Management carried out the full cyclical tree inspection using VTA methodology and QTRA risk rating — and carried out a detailed assessment and formal documentation of the unauthorised works, confirming the protected status of each affected tree and advising on appropriate next steps.
Findings & Recommendations:
- Complete two-yearly inspection delivered across all trees and groups
- Unauthorised works fully documented in a formal written record
- Protected status of each affected tree confirmed
- Management recommendations produced for each tree subject to unauthorised works
Outcome: The school received a complete cyclical tree inspection report confirming their consistently high standard of tree management — and a professionally documented record of the unauthorised works giving them the evidence needed to pursue the matter through appropriate channels.
