Planning Applications and Site Surveys

Our team can assist with the tree surveys and assessments required for a successful and quick planning application.

Our team will guide you through all the required tree surveys and assessments for your development, giving you the best possible chance of planning consent.

At David Archer Associates, we survey thousands of trees every year, so we know each and every challenge they can bring to a development. That’s why our highly skilled surveyors don’t just look at the project at hand but at the wider picture. We’ll flag up any potential issues if there are protected wildlife habitats in residence or if we think that there are challenges that haven’t been considered – so you can feel confident that no stone is left unturned that may hold up your planning consent.

We provide a flexible and accessible approach for our clients throughout every step of their development.

Our team is always available to provide expert, clear and friendly advice. We understand every step of the planning application process and are just a phone call away to help you navigate any challenges throughout.
