Where is the site for your surveys?

Enter your postcode to locate your site.

Which surveys do you need?

Tell us what you’ve got and we’ll match the right surveys.

What does your project primarily involve?

Choose the option that best describes your site.

Trees and hedges
Trees, hedgerows, or woodland on or near the site
Wildlife and habitats
Protected species, ecology surveys, or biodiversity requirements
Both apply
Trees and wildlife habitat — your project involves both

What type of project are you planning?

Choose the option closest to your plans.

New build
New development on greenfield or brownfield land
Extension or alteration
Works to an existing building
Demolition
Full or partial demolition of a structure
Landscaping or infrastructure
Roads, drainage, hard landscaping, or groundworks
Tree or land management
No planning application — surveys for management
Change of use
Converting a building or changing land use

Have you received a planning requirement?

A condition, pre-application advice, or guidance from your architect or agent.

Yes (in writing)
I have a planning condition or written requirement
Yes (verbally)
Told verbally but nothing in writing yet
Not yet (preparing application)
Want to get surveys sorted before submitting
No (not planning related)
Management or independent survey only

Has planning permission already been granted?

This decides whether we price for your application, or for discharging a condition on a permission you already have.

No — not decided yet
For an application that hasn't been granted yet, including varying or removing a condition (Section 73)
Yes — permission is granted
I need to discharge a condition before starting work

What does the condition require?

Check the condition wording on your decision notice if you're not sure.

Arboricultural Method Statement
AMS — how works will protect retained trees
Tree Protection Plan
TPP — protective fencing and exclusion zones on plan
Both AMS and TPP
Most conditions ask for both together
Not sure
We'll confirm exactly what's needed before pricing

What's on or next to your site?

Choose the option that best describes the trees on site.

Trees
Individual trees or small groups
Hedgerows
Boundary hedges or field hedgerows
Woodland
A group or stand of trees
A mix
Trees and hedges together

Roughly how many trees are involved?

Drag the slider to the nearest count — an approximate number helps us scope the right survey and quote.

A small number of individual trees

5 trees

How many hedgerow or woodland groups?

A "group" is a hedgerow or block of woodland surveyed as one schedule entry, not tree-by-tree — separate from the individual tree count.

One hedgerow or woodland block

1 group

Not sure? Choose your best estimate — we can confirm the count on site.

How close are the trees to your proposed works?

If trees fall into more than one group, choose the closest.

Within the footprint
Works will happen around or beneath them
Adjacent
Within about 15 metres of the works
Being removed
One or more trees are coming down
Nearby
On site but not directly affected

Do any of these apply to the trees?

Tell us roughly how many — this affects survey scope and price.

How many have a Tree Preservation Order?

A legal order protecting specific trees — felling or major work needs council consent.

0 trees

How many show cavities, loose bark, or are mature/veteran?

Holes, splits, or thick trunks can indicate veteran trees or roosting potential.

0 trees

How old is the building?

Building age helps us assess bat roost potential for demolitions and conversions.

Pre-1919
Victorian or Edwardian — typically solid walls
1919–1960
Inter-war or post-war construction
1960–2000
Modern or late-twentieth century
Post-2000
Built in the last 25 years

What type of roof does the building have?

Pitched roofs on older buildings are the most common bat roost habitat.

Tiled or slate (pitched)
Traditional pitched roof — highest bat roost potential
Flat roof
Flat or low-pitch roof covering
Metal or sheet
Corrugated metal, asbestos, or similar

Which visible features apply to the building?

Select all that apply — these indicate potential bat access points.

Gaps under tiles
Lifted, missing, or loose roof tiles
Soffits and fascias
Gaps, holes, or deteriorated eaves boards
Weatherboarding
Timber cladding with gaps or loose boards
Cellar or void
Basement, cellar, or under-floor void space
None of these
No visible roost features noticed

How large is the area you're developing?

Just your red line or plot — not all the land you own. If the new home sits on a larger holding, estimate the plot it's on.

Large garden

~0.2 hectares

Not sure? Choose your best estimate — we can refine it on a quick call.

What type of habitat is on or near your site?

Select all that apply.

Rough grassland or scrub
Unmanaged land, meadow, or bramble
Pond, ditch, or watercourse
Water on or next to the site
Brownfield land
Previously developed or industrial site
Hedgerows
Boundary or field hedgerows
