What Types of Tree Survey Are Available in Newcastle upon Tyne?
Tree surveys in Newcastle upon Tyne come in three types: Tree Condition Reports for general health checks, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender conditions, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
Tree Condition Reports (TCR)
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and stability of a tree or group of trees. Homeowners, insurers and property managers request one to check for decay, disease or hazard risk.
Mortgage Tree Reports (MTR)
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender's valuation flags trees close to a property before completion. The report satisfies the requirements of major UK lenders.
BS5837 Tree Surveys
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into grades A to U, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Newcastle upon Tyne Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
