Arboricultural services
Trees provide many benefits such as shade, oxygen, and aesthetic value. Proper care of trees can help prevent damage from storms and other natural disasters.
Arboricultural services are dedicated to the proper planting, management and care of trees. Arborists are tree specialists who practice tree care and have been accredited for the specific skills they are able to provide.
Any planning application that may affect tree(s) is required to include a tree report that assesses the impact of the proposed development on the local tree cover. Reports for this purpose must be carried out in accordance with BS5837:2012 Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction – Recommendations. Syntegra provides a comprehensive BS5837 (trees in relation to design, demolition and construction) advice service to developers, planners, architects, engineers, designers, landscape architects, and land agents.

What Arboricultural Services Do We Provide?
- We provide a comprehensive range of arboricultural services, including Tree Surveys (BS5837), Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIA), Tree Protection Plans, and Arboricultural Method Statements (AMS). Tree Surveys, specifically BS5837, are a British Standard that local planning authorities use to assess the impact on trees during the construction phase of development, required before construction to address tree retention. An Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) is a written assessment determining the site-specific effect of planned development on existing tree stock, identifying trees for retention or removal and highlighting potential conflicts. Tree Protection Plans outline steps to protect trees during development, designating valuable trees and ensuring their care. An Arboricultural Method Statement (AMS) details measures to prevent loss or damage to trees during development, including timing and phasing of tree works.
