Tree Surveys
Indigo’s tree consultants provide a range of tree surveys to clients in both domestic and commercial settings. Our arboricultural consultancy services can assist with planning applications with landowners and developers in highlighting the impact a development might have on the immediate and surrounding area.
Tree survey reports will highlight tree advice to the extent of which trees may constrain a proposed development, whether that be on the proposed site of development or immediately adjacent to it.
Why is a Tree Survey required?
A tree survey will highlight the legal status of any trees present within an area requested, giving a clear indication of any trees and whether they are protected or not. A tree report will indicate those trees suffering from any disease or decay that may require felling. This information can then be used to support any planning application, whether this be for new build developments or refurbishment of existing properties.
We can provide a range of tree surveys to British Standard 5837 to increase your chances of planning success and help avoid unnecessary time delay. Tree surveys are vital for any developments but can also be required for homebuyers and homeowners in respect of home purchases or mortgage/insurance renewal and any perceived risk from trees. We also provide health and safety tree risk management surveys to ensure that landowners stay within their ‘duty or care’ to ensure the safety of visitors to their land. This can include recommendations for felling or pruning advice for management of trees.

Ecology Surveys
Indigo Surveys provide a range of ecology surveys for a wide variety of clients in both a domestic and commercial setting. Our team of ecologists specialise in a wide range of habitat assessment, from phase 1 habitat surveys to more detailed protected species and invasive plant species guidance throughout the UK.
We advise a wide range of clients on ecology matters, including developers, architects, project managers, planning consultants, engineers, local authorities, private clients. We deliver high quality reports and advice to ensure you stay on the right side of the law when it comes to development.
Why is an ecology survey required?
An ecology survey is usually required to detail habitats and species within an area that is to be changed in some way. They often are required for large development projects but equally could be relevant to a small scale change such as a small barn conversion. The goal of the ecological survey is to identify any potential constraints that could impact the development’s progress.
The ecological impact of any development, large or small, has to be considered as part of the whole planning process. Failure to do so and then disturbing or destroying the habitat of a protected species can be a criminal offence and should be avoided.
Habitat surveys provide ecological details of a site, including vegetation and identifying any protected species and their habitat. Depending on the initial findings in a Phase 1 habitat survey, more detailed surveys may be required, which can then be used to support a planning application.

BS5837 Surveys
As tree consultants, we provide a range of tree surveys to British Standard BS5837. If you are needing a tree survey for planning purposes, we can help whatever your location in the UK. Get in touch and we can quickly produce a BS5837 Tree Survey for your site to assist your planning application.
Our surveys cover a site’s key features including detailed information of all trees that will be required for a planning application. Prepared by a qualified arboriculturist, a BS5837 tree survey will provide best guidance on the trees on the site and their associated risks.
Why is a BS5837 survey required?
A BS5837 tree survey will usually be required for any planning application for an extension, new build, demolition or development proposal when trees are sited within the site boundary (or within 15 metres of a site boundary). The tree survey will provide an understanding of the site and any limitations presented by trees on the site.
Any acceptable planning application will successfully incorporate suitable trees in the design and mitigate the loss of any trees being removed. Local authority planner will require the BS5837 Assessment including identification and mapping of all the important tree habitats within the site and the recommendations for their retention or removal.

Measure Surveys
Indigo Surveys provide measured surveys to a range of clients in both domestic and commercial settings. A measured survey is an accurate representation of site, including the buildings, structures, and other site details, in order to produce a very accurate picture of the project on a scaled plan.
Using sophisticated equipment enables accuracy of the measured surveys, the detail of which will be used as the basis of all planning phases, as well as the foundation on which any design plans for the future use of the site are based. Each client will have their own requirements regarding the precise degree of detail required, timescales, budgets and other aspects, and this will have a bearing on the costs of the measured survey.
Why is a measured survey required?
A measured survey is considered an essential part of any development project providing the detail of the the present site, and allowing the potential look of the area to be planned out. We provide measure surveys services to a range of clients including landowners, developers, construction companies, architects, planning consultants, project managers, engineers and other planning professionals.
As each project is different, we understand that each measured survey has different requirements and a different level of detail required. We can work with you to provide a cost-effective solution for your site, no matter the scale of measured survey you require.

Our Testimonials
Survey Manager
Indigo had been recommended to us by a consultant for Arboricultural Consultancy on an important cemetery project. There was a quick turnaround and clear understanding of what we needed. We were very appreciative of the fact that Indigo understood the sensitivities of the site and mourners that attend the cemetery.
The service provided was excellent from start to finish. I would have no hesitation in recommending the service of Indigo Surveys Ltd
