Arboricultural Method Statements

Arboricultural Method Statement often a condition of planning approval

Construction projects are not always straightforward brown field sites; where a site is particularly constrained by trees there may be a need to work very close to them to achieve the desired site layout. If construction is required with the root protection area of a tree a council will usually condition an arboricultural method statement as part of the planning approval. This details how construction will be carried out, the timings of operations and any special construction measures that will be employed to lessen long term impacts to trees.

The documents I produce are site specific and can tie in with the overall site sequencing. I draw upon my knowledge of trees and construction methods to produce a clear document that can be easily interpreted on site, is feasible and provides a cost effective and realistic solution for you as a client. Sometimes an element of site supervision is required to ensure working methods are employed correctly but I will always try and strike a fair balance so that unnecessary costs are avoided.
