ARBORICULTURAL CONSULTANCY

A large variety of wildlife, including many protected species (e.g. bats), use trees and woodlands to roost and hibernate.

The felling of trees within the vicinity of any protected species is a criminal offence in line with European protected species and UK wildlife legislation. Quercus can assist you to adhere to legal duties by providing appropriate surveys, information and mitigation options for consideration.

Quercus undertakes detailed surveys and inspections of trees, woodlands and hedgerows offering comprehensive advice for our clients. Recommendations for tree work are specific to local ecological features and future land use. We also provide detailed reports to accompany our assessments and survey work, which provide the necessary information to accompany planning applications.

Quercus is highly experienced in conducting ecological tree surveys on the environmental and bat value of trees, advising on their incorporation into development and management proposals. Tree surveys are often needed when UK planning authorities are required to check the impact that a new development could have on trees and wildlife within its surrounding area.

Quercus provides a full range of ecologically focused arboricultural services. From tree surgery, BS5837 surveys and constraint plans, impact assessments, method statements and tree protection plans.
