Our Services
Trees in Relation to Planning
Trees are important to our natural world and in planning everything from the National Planning Policy framework to local parish councils have policies, guidelines, and requirements that need to be met for a planning application to be successful. Here at TTC we are able to guide our clients to obtain planning consent in a world of ever tightening environmental restrictions.
Health and Safety
Property owners have a legal duty of care to make sure their trees do not cause harm to neighbours or the public. They should get regular assessments to make sure they are in a safe condition. TTC can help you with this.
With many years experience conducting many types of safety assessments we can explore options to meet your duty of care whilst not breaking the bank.
CAVAT – Capital Asset Value for Amenity Trees
CAVAT is a calculation of a tree’s value into a monetary number. This is becoming a common way for local authorities to gain compensation for the loss of their trees or to ensure that there is ample planting on site. Local authorities such as Hampshire County Council, Ealing Borough Council, and the Greater London Authority all require CAVAT assessments to be undertaken. We have been working with CAVAT since 2014 and are able to calculate it in a variety of ways from detailed single tree assessments to a large-scale project.
