A tree survey in Wool is required for three situations: a planning application near protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees on site, or an insurer assessing subsidence risk.
Dorset Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or root damage without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a valuer flags trees close to the property during survey. Without one, the lender withholds funds until the risk is assessed. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil around foundations, causing shrinkage that leads to subsidence. An insurer requires species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations before confirming or renewing cover.
Three survey types cover Wool: Tree Condition Reports for homeowners and landlords, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender conditions, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of specified trees. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request one to identify defects or management needs.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees near the property before completion. It satisfies major UK lender requirements for releasing funds.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site by quality and value, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Dorset Council requires this survey to support planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree in scope, species identification, condition assessment, and a written report with recommendations and photographs. The report is delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Wool takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report, with 1 to 3 hours spent on site. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Wool depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the size of the site. The quote is fixed before the visit takes place.
The fixed price covers the site visit, the full written report and any follow-up questions, at no extra cost.
Consultants qualified in arboriculture carry out the survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Dorset Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
