A tree survey in Lancing is required for planning applications near protected trees, when a mortgage lender flags trees on a property, and to assess insurance or subsidence risk.
Adur Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications where trees stand on or near the development site. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or uprooting of protected trees without council consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when a valuation identifies trees within influencing distance of the property. Without one, Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC withhold funds until the risk is assessed.
Tree roots draw moisture from the surrounding subsoil, causing the ground to shrink and foundations to move. Insurers require a report identifying species, root spread and management recommendations before confirming subsidence cover.
Three survey types are available in Lancing: Tree Condition Reports for health assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structural condition and safety of a specific tree or group of trees. Homeowners, insurers and property managers request one to identify risk before it becomes a liability.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees close to a property during a purchase or remortgage. The report satisfies the tree-related conditions set by major UK lenders.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Adur Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification and a condition assessment. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Lancing takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, and a 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Lancing depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the size of the site. The quote is fixed before the site visit takes place.
The fixed price covers the site visit, the full written report and follow-up questions at no extra cost.
Consultants qualified in arboriculture carry out every survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Adur Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
