A tree survey in Redland becomes necessary for three reasons: a planning application affects protected trees, a mortgage lender flags trees on the property, or an insurer requires assessment of subsidence risk.
Bristol, City of requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications affecting trees within the site or on neighbouring land. A Tree Preservation Order prohibits felling, topping, lopping or uprooting a protected tree without council consent.
A mortgage lender demands a tree report when a valuer flags trees close to the property during the survey. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC withhold funds until the report confirms no structural risk.
