BS5837-compliant reports for solar and wind farm projects
Trees are an important factor in the planning process, so if you’re submitting a planning application for development on land with trees on or near it, the local planning authority will require an arboricultural report. BS5837:2012 provides recommendations and guidance for trees in relation to design, demolition, and construction, and we supply reports that meet this standard.
The renewable energy industry has rapidly advanced, making photovoltaic (PV) and wind power mainstream clean energy options. Working with renewable energy developers, we often carry out initial tree surveys for potential solar or wind farm sites to guide planning and design feasibility.
Using modern technology, we identify and assess trees and hedgerows according to BS5837:2012 to determine how they can be integrated into the scheme while meeting planning policies. Beyond the solar arrays or wind turbines, we consider cable routing, grid connections, and other infrastructure, advising on managing protected and retained trees and hedgerows during construction and operation.
We conduct site surveys and prepare reports for renewable energy projects nationwide, as local authorities typically request tree survey reports with all planning applications. Before visiting your site for a survey, we’ll ask a few key questions about your project—just fill out our quick online form so we can gather the details and provide a free, comprehensive quote.
We can help deliver successful renewable energy schemes.
We provide the following arboricultural consultancy services, which follow a logical sequence of events in the planning and design process.
