A tree survey in Shoreham-by-Sea becomes necessary for three reasons: a planning application near protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees on a property, or an insurer assessing subsidence risk from nearby roots.
Adur Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications involving trees near proposed development. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping or root damage without council consent, regardless of tree ownership.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when trees stand close enough to a property to risk structural damage. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC all request this before releasing funds. Without one, the lender withholds the mortgage offer.
Tree roots draw moisture from clay soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to move. An insurer requests a report identifying the tree species, assessing root spread, and recommending management action before confirming cover.
Three survey types serve different needs: Tree Condition Reports assess tree health, Mortgage Tree Reports satisfy lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys support planning applications requiring tree assessment.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structural stability and safety of specific trees. Property owners, insurers and land managers request this report to identify hazards and recommend remedial work.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender identifies trees near a property during a mortgage application. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into 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 condition assessment. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report, with the site visit lasting 1 to 3 hours. A 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Shoreham-by-Sea 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 afterwards, 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.
