A tree survey in Resolven is required for planning applications near protected trees, when a mortgage lender flags trees on site, and where insurance or subsidence risk exists.
Neath Port Talbot Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications where trees stand on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order prevents felling, topping, lopping or root damage without the council's written consent, regardless of ownership.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when trees stand close enough to the property to risk foundation damage. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports. Without one, the lender withholds funds until the risk is assessed.
Tree roots draw moisture from the soil beneath a building's foundations, causing subsidence. An insurer requires evidence of the risk before renewing or granting cover. The report identifies species, assesses root spread and sets management recommendations.
Three survey types are available in Resolven: Tree Condition Reports for general risk assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 Tree Surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of individual trees on a property. Homeowners and insurers request this report to identify hazards and management needs.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees near the property boundary. The report satisfies the requirements of major UK lenders before mortgage completion.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Neath Port Talbot Council requires this survey for planning applications involving trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, and species identification. The arborist assesses each tree's condition and produces a written report with recommendations and photographs. The report is delivered within 5 working days of the site visit.
A tree survey in Resolven takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of trees. A 48-hour urgent option is available for mortgage deadlines.
