An Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) is a key component of the BS5837 planning process and is often required by local authorities before approving development proposals where trees are present. This detailed report analyses how your planned works will affect the trees on or near your site and outlines the measures needed to protect them.
At Tree Survey Team, we specialise in delivering clear, comprehensive AIA reports that help you progress smoothly through planning. Our assessments provide planners and architects with essential insights, ensuring your development is both compliant and practical.

Local planning authorities often require an AIA when trees are present on or adjacent to a development site. Without it, your planning application may be delayed or rejected.
