An Arboricultural Method Statement explains how retained trees will be protected while construction work is carried out. It can cover working methods, sequencing, access, ground protection, protective fencing and other site-specific controls.
Send the planning condition wording, site postcode and the latest drawings you have. If a previous tree survey, AIA, tree protection plan or decision notice exists, include that too. We can then define the immediate AMS scope and quote for the work.
Yes, where the planning condition or project scope requires it. A Tree Protection Plan can show retained trees, Root Protection Areas, protective fencing, ground protection and other agreed protection measures.
Yes, where relevant to the agreed planning or construction-stage scope. The required fencing arrangement depends on the site, retained trees, access and proposed works.
Often, yes. Existing arboricultural information can be reviewed alongside the current drawings and planning condition. We will confirm whether the available information is sufficient before the AMS is prepared.
The AMS is prepared for submission and council review against the agreed arboricultural requirement. The local planning authority decides whether a planning condition is discharged.
Timing depends on the condition wording, site complexity, availability of drawings and previous tree information, whether a site visit is required and current workload. The quote response will confirm the likely programme.
Condition wording + postcode + drawings. That is enough to start.
