Planning & Development Support
Impact Assessments & Method Statements
Planning a development or working on land where trees are present often requires professional arboricultural input.
At Arborglyph, we provide BS5837 tree surveys and planning services across Lincolnshire — helping clients meet planning conditions, protect retained trees, and move projects forward with confidence.
We record every relevant tree on or adjacent to your site, assess its quality and value, and map root protection areas to ensure your design aligns with Local Planning Authority expectations.
All reports are fully documented, clear, and tailored to your project requirements.
Every survey is completed in accordance with BS5837: Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction.

At Arborglyph, our surveys and reports are completed with full attention to:
- BS5837 standards and best practice
- Retention categories and tree value assessment
- Long-term protection of important landscape trees
- Practical, buildable recommendations for contractors
- Clear mapping, documentation, and site-specific advice
Whether your project is a small domestic extension or a large development site, we provide professional arboricultural reporting that ensures planning requirements are met without unnecessary delays.
Tree surveys are not simply paperwork.
They are a critical part of responsible development, ensuring that valuable trees are correctly assessed, protected, and integrated into site design wherever possible.

Planning applications with tree constraints
Developments near mature or protected trees
Local Authority conditions requiring arboricultural input
Retained trees requiring protection during construction
Projects needing impact assessments and method statements
Our aim is to support both sustainable development and long-term tree retention through accurate surveys and expert guidance.
