A tree survey in Pentwyn is required for three situations: planning applications near protected trees, a mortgage lender flagging trees on a property, and insurance or subsidence risk assessment.
Cardiff Council requires a BS5837 survey for any planning application affecting trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or uprooting a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when trees stand close enough to a property to threaten its foundations. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports; without one, the lender withholds funds until the risk is assessed.
Tree roots draw moisture from clay soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to subside. An insurer requires a report identifying the species involved, assessing root spread, and recommending management action to remove the risk.
Three tree survey types are available in Pentwyn: Tree Condition Reports for general risk assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structural condition and safety of a tree, identifying decay, disease or damage. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request this report to manage the risk of a specific tree.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender flags trees near a property during the mortgage application process. The report satisfies the requirements of major UK lenders before funds are released.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into one of four grades, sets root protection areas, and produces a tree constraints plan. Cardiff Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification, and a condition assessment of each tree. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Pentwyn takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report delivery. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, and a 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Pentwyn depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the size of the site. The quote is fixed before the site visit takes place.
The fixed price covers the site visit, the full written report, and follow-up questions afterwards 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 Cardiff Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
