A tree survey in Caerphilly is required for three situations: planning applications near protected trees, mortgage lenders flagging trees on site, and insurance claims involving subsidence risk.
Caerphilly Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications affecting sites with trees, including those in gardens and boundaries. A Tree Preservation Order legally prevents felling, topping, lopping or root damage to protected trees without council consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when trees stand close enough to a property to risk subsidence or structural damage. Without one, the lender withholds funds. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept reports written to BS5837:2012.
Subsidence occurs when tree roots draw moisture from clay-rich soil, causing ground shrinkage beneath foundations. Insurers require a report identifying species, assessing root spread and setting management recommendations before agreeing cover or settling a claim.
Three survey types are available in Caerphilly: Tree Condition Reports for general health assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structural condition and safety of individual trees. Homeowners, landlords and insurers request this report to identify decay, disease or risk of failure before deciding on removal or works.
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender identifies trees close to a property during a mortgage application. The report satisfies major UK lender requirements before funds release.
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Caerphilly Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
A tree survey includes a site visit by a qualified arborist, inspection of every tree in scope, species identification, condition assessment, and a written report with recommendations and photographs. Reports are delivered within 5 working days.
A tree survey in Caerphilly takes 7 to 10 working days from booking to report. The site visit lasts 1 to 3 hours. A 48-hour urgent option covers mortgage deadlines.
The cost of a tree survey in Caerphilly depends on the survey type, the number of trees and the site size. The quote is fixed before the site visit.

Consultants qualified in arboriculture carry out every survey, holding public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Reports are written to BS5837:2012 and accepted by Caerphilly Council, mortgage lenders and insurers.
