Bognor Regis properties in the PO21 postcode district fall under Arun Council for planning and tree preservation matters. A tree survey establishes species, condition and root protection areas before development, sale or insurance work proceeds.
All surveys are completed by qualified arboricultural consultants with professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

A tree survey in Bognor Regis is required for planning applications near protected trees, when a mortgage lender flags trees on the property, and where insurers require assessment of subsidence risk.
Arun Council requires a BS5837 survey when trees stand on or near a proposed development site. A Tree Preservation Order makes it a criminal offence to fell, top, lop or uproot a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when a valuer flags trees within influencing distance of the property. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports; without one, the lender withholds funds until it receives satisfactory assessment.
Tree roots draw moisture from clay soil, causing it to shrink and the ground beneath foundations to subside. Insurers require a report identifying species, assessing root spread and setting management recommendations before confirming cover.
Bognor Regis tree surveys come in three types: Tree Condition Reports for general health checks, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of individual trees. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request one to check for decay, disease or risk of failure.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuer flags trees near the property during the sale process. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site by quality and value, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan for planning submissions. Arun Council requires this document before determining applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification and condition assessment. The written report follows with recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Bognor Regis takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit itself lasts 1 to 3 hours, with a 48-hour urgent option available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Bognor Regis depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the size of the site. The quote is fixed before the visit takes place.
The fixed price covers the site visit, the full written report and follow-up questions afterwards, 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 Arun Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
