A tree survey in Solva is required for three situations: a planning application near a protected tree, a mortgage lender flagging trees on site, or an insurance claim tied to subsidence risk.
Pembrokeshire Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees within the site or on adjacent land. A Tree Preservation Order makes it a criminal offence to fell, top, lop or damage a protected tree without the council's written consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a valuation surveyor flags trees close to the property during the mortgage process. Without a report, the lender withholds funds until the risk is assessed. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept the resulting report.
Tree roots draw moisture from the surrounding soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundation to move. An insurer requests a report before settling a subsidence claim linked to nearby trees. The report identifies species, assesses root spread and sets management recommendations.
Three survey types serve different needs: Tree Condition Reports for management decisions, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender conditions, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and risk of a tree or group of trees. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request one to inform management decisions or resolve insurance queries.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees near the property before completion. The report satisfies the tree-related conditions set by major UK lenders.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into grades A to U, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Pembrokeshire Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree within scope, species identification and a condition assessment of each tree. The written report includes recommendations and photographs, delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Solva takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report, with the site visit lasting 1 to 3 hours. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Solva depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the size of the site. The quote is fixed before the site visit takes place.
The fixed price covers the site visit, the full written report and follow-up questions afterwards, at no extra cost.
Consultants qualified in arboriculture carry out the survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Pembrokeshire Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
