A tree survey in Christchurch becomes necessary when a planning application affects a protected tree, when a mortgage lender flags trees on the property, or when insurance identifies subsidence risk.
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications where development sits within falling distance of trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order prevents felling, topping, lopping or uprooting a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a survey identifies trees close enough to the property to affect its structure or drainage. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports. Without one, the lender withholds funds until the survey is complete.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil beneath a property, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to move. Insurers request a report identifying the cause before agreeing to cover subsidence claims. The report contains species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations.
Three survey types cover Christchurch properties: Tree Condition Reports for general health and risk assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.

A Mortgage Tree Report becomes required when a lender's valuation surveyor flags trees near the property during the 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. Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
