What is a Tree Protection Plan?

​

A Tree Protection Plan is a comprehensive strategy developed by qualified arboricultural consultants to protect and preserve trees during construction or development projects. It outlines measures to safeguard trees from potential damage, such as root disturbance, compaction, or physical injury. Tree Protection Plans ensure compliance with local regulations and best practices for tree conservation.

​

Why Do I Need a Tree Protection Plan?

​

If your construction or development project involves working near existing trees, having a Tree Protection Plan is crucial. Local authorities often require a Tree Protection Plan as part of the planning application process to ensure the preservation of valuable trees. These plans minimize the negative impact on trees and promote their long-term health and sustainability.

​

When Can Tree Protection Plans Be Developed?

​

Our team of experienced arboricultural consultants can develop Tree Protection Plans at various stages of your project. Whether you are in the early planning phase or already underway with construction, we can assess the site, identify key trees, and design appropriate protection measures tailored to your specific requirements.

​

Components of Tree Protection Plans

​

Our Tree Protection Plans encompass a range of important elements to safeguard trees, including:

1. Tree Identification: Identifying and assessing the health, species, size, and significance of each tree on the site.

2. Protective Barriers: Implementing physical barriers, such as fencing or signage, to prevent accidental damage or unauthorized access to protected tree zones.

3. Root Protection Areas: Determining and clearly demarcating root protection areas to prevent root damage from excavation, soil compaction, or equipment storage.

4. Construction Methods and Monitoring: Recommending construction methods that minimize tree impact, such as root-friendly machinery and installation techniques. Ongoing monitoring ensures compliance with the plan throughout the project.
