🛠️ Our Core Services

Tree Condition Surveys

We provide expert assessments of tree health, structural integrity, and safety through detailed on-site inspections, delivering clear, actionable reports tailored to your site’s needs.

• BS 3998:2010 compliant recommendations for tree work

• Colour-coded risk ratings based on the ISA’s Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) methodology

• Visual clarity that helps you prioritise works and manage liability with confidence

Our approach follows the principles of the National Tree Safety Group (NTSG), ensuring a proportionate, common-sense strategy to tree risk management. We balance public safety with the environmental, aesthetic, and amenity value of your trees, avoiding unnecessary interventions and retaining trees wherever reasonably practicable.

BS 5837 Planning Surveys

We support your development proposals with complete BS 5837:2012 compliant tree surveys and documentation, including:

• Tree Constraints Reports (TCR) and Tree Constraints Plans (TCP): Identifies the location, size, quality and root protection areas of existing trees, helping you understand site limitations and opportunities before design begins.

• Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIA): Evaluates how proposed development may affect trees and outlines mitigation strategies, essential for gaining planning approval.

• Tree Protection Plans (TPP): Maps out protective measures to safeguard retained trees during construction, including fencing, ground protection, and access routes.

• Arboricultural Method Statements (AMS): Provides detailed guidance on how construction activities will be carried out near trees, ensuring compliance and minimising risk.

Our planning reports are precise, planning-compliant, and designed to facilitate harmonious integration of trees and development.

In addition to core surveys, Canopy IQ offers targeted consultancy including:

• Arboricultural Mortgage Reports: Often required by lenders when trees may impact property value or structural integrity. We provide fast, clear assessments to help buyers and sellers move forward with confidence.
