A tree survey in Barry is required for planning applications near protected trees, mortgage approval when a lender flags trees on site, and insurance assessment of subsidence risk from tree roots.
Vale of Glamorgan Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application involves development near trees on site. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, pruning or root damage without council consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a valuation surveyor flags trees within influencing distance of the property. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports; without one, the lender withholds funds.
Tree roots cause subsidence by drawing moisture from the soil beneath foundations, creating ground movement. Insurers request evidence of species and root spread before settling a claim. The report contains species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations.
Three survey types are available in Barry: Tree Condition Reports for insurance and subsidence concerns, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of individual trees. Insurers and homeowners request this report to evaluate risk before subsidence claims or tree removal decisions.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required during a house purchase or remortgage when a lender's valuation surveyor raises a tree query. This report satisfies major UK lender requirements for tree risk assessment before completion.
A BS5837 tree survey categorises every tree on site into grades A, B, C or U, sets root protection areas, and produces a tree constraints plan. Vale of Glamorgan Council requires this survey for planning applications near trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification and a condition assessment. The written report adds recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
