Developers and Planners

Working closely with multidisciplinary teams to achieve successful schemes

Planning and development

Trees are vitally important in urban and rural landscapes; they are the largest component of green infrastructure and can provide many opportunities to enhance new developments whether they be housing, infrastructure, solar or wind farms.

At Barton Hyett Associates we understand the complexities of building around trees and have helped many schemes achieve planning permission where important trees are retained on construction sites so they can continue to make a positive impact on the local environment.

We can provide detailed tree survey and expert arboricultural assistance in the planning process to help you achieve a successful scheme.

BS5837 compliant reports and plans

Trees are a material consideration in the planning process so if you are submitting a planning application for development on land that has trees on (or close to) it your local planning authority will require an arboricultural report to accompany the application.

BS5837:2012 contains recommendations and guidance for trees in relation to design, demolition and construction.  Barton Hyett Associates provides reports compliant with this standard.
