BS5837 Reports in Cambridge & Saffron Walden

What is a BS5837 report?

A BS5837 report is an arboricultural assessment carried out in accordance with BS5837, which provides guidance on how trees should be considered within development sites. These reports are typically required as part of a planning application where trees may be affected by proposed works. A BS5837 assessment helps to:

• Identify and categorise trees on or near a site
• Assess their quality, condition and retention value
• Inform site layout and design
• Ensure trees are appropriately considered and protected during development
