What Types of Tree Survey Are Available in Crowborough?
Tree surveys in Crowborough fall into three types: the Tree Condition Report for homeowners and insurers, the Mortgage Tree Report for lenders, and the BS5837 survey for planning applications to Wealden Council.
Tree Condition Reports (TCR)
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of a tree or group of trees. Homeowners, insurers and managing agents request one to identify hazards and decide on remedial work.
Mortgage Tree Reports (MTR)
A Mortgage Tree Report becomes required when a lender's valuer flags trees near the property during a purchase or remortgage. The report satisfies the tree-related conditions set by major UK lenders before funds release.
BS5837 Tree Surveys
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into grades A, B, C or U, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Wealden Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
