Arboriculturist

Although an arboriculturist might not be a job description that you have heard of or a service that you are aware of, if you are planning to build anything new or develop any land then you will need to quite quickly. An arboriculturist is a specialist in trees and everything about them; this means that they know if trees are rare or protected.

We are a country that is proud of our heritage and we take a number of steps to protect this and make sure everything is as looked after as possible. If you are planning to develop land then you will need to get in touch with an arboriculturist to get them to check over where you want to build on and make sure that you aren’t building on land that could damage trees or ruin their habitat.

When you are planning to build or develop anything you will need to apply to the local authority for planning permission. They will take time to look over the whole of your plans and will decide whether or not you can go ahead with your project. Once you get to this stage you will want everything to go through as quickly and as smoothly as possible. If you contact an arboriculturist before you go ahead with this stage and get all of the surveys and checks out of the way before you get this far. That way you know that you have taken all the precautions possible and that your planning application should be progressed as quickly as possible.

The likelihood is that you don’t know an arboriculturist and aren’t sure how to get hold of one. Well don’t let this put you off of going ahead with your application because a search on Google should be enough to point you in the right direction. You can search for “arboriculturist” or something simpler such as “tree survey” or “tree surveyor” and this should be enough to point you in the right direction. You can then work your way through the options available to you in order to find the company that best matches your needs.
