A tree survey in St George becomes necessary for three reasons: a planning application near a protected tree, a mortgage lender flagging trees on site, or insurance and subsidence risk.
Bristol, City of requires a BS5837 survey before granting planning permission for development near a tree protected by a Tree Preservation Order. A TPO makes it a criminal offence to fell, prune or damage the protected tree without consent.
A mortgage lender requests a tree report when a valuation flags trees within influencing distance of the property. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC require this before releasing funds; without it, the lender withholds the offer.
Tree roots draw moisture from clay soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to move, which insurers class as subsidence risk. The report contains species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations.

A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation surveyor flags trees near the property during a mortgage application. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before the offer proceeds.
