Some of the consultancy services we offer include:

1. TPO and Conservation Area Applications and Appeals
   LTCS can give advice and/or act as your agent in any application or appeal relating to trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order or situated within a Conservation Area. We will prepare and submit all relevant paperwork for the application and cover all liason necessary with the Local Authority Planning Department.
2. Subsidence Risk and Mortgage Reports
   Mortgage lenders will often insist on an Arboricultural Mortgage Report in order to establish whether the proximity of the tree could possibly damage the property. This report illustrates all potential hazards and makes recommendations for resolving any arising issues.
3. Tree Portfolio Survey and Risk Assessment Report
   In order to maintain a safe and healthy tree stock, ensuring that risk is kept to a minimum when trees are in close proximity to people and property. The Assessment will provide details of all the trees identified; this includes their dimensions and health whilst also making recommendations on any tree management proposals, both short and long-term.
   • Visual Tree Assessments
   • Tree Hazard Evaluations
   • Aerial Inspections
   • Short Term Management Plans
   • Long Term Management Plans
   • Budget Management
4. Tree Surveys for Building Planning Applications
   In light of the amended British Standard, BS 5837:2005 (Trees in Relation to Construction – Recommendations) we offer a complete package in full accordance with the standard to support any planning application where trees are involved. This package includes the following documents:
   • Preliminary Tree Survey Identifies and assesses each individual tree or groups of trees of their worthiness for retention.
   • Arboricultural Implication Assessment Identifies, evaluates and mitigates any direct and indirect impact on existing trees arising from your development proposals.
   • Arboricultural Method Statement Methodology for the implication of any aspect of development that has the potential to result in loss or damage to a tree.
