Arboricultural & Ecological Consultancy

Access Arborists provide expert arboricultural and ecological consultancy services, ensuring that all aspects of tree management are in line with best practices and current standards. We specialise in:

• Tree Risk Assessments: Detailed evaluations to identify hazards and ensure your trees remain safe and healthy. We are registered users of Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA), which provides an accountable and transparent method of assessing tree risk.

• Arboricultural Impact Assessments: Comprehensive surveys and reports in accordance with BS5837: 2012 - Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Development: Recommendations, supporting planning applications and development projects where trees may be affected. To fulfil planning requirements, we can produce arboricultural method statements and tree protection plans to ensure that retained trees can be protected during development works.

• Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and Conservation Area advice: Advice on and applications for trees afforded protection by TPOs and within Conservation Areas.

• Tree climbing bat surveys. Professional surveys to assess potential bat roosts in trees. With a team including a licensed bat ecologist, we carry out ground level tree inspections and aerial inspections of trees for roosting bats.

• Ecological clerk of works (ECoW). On-site ecological supervision during tree and vegetation removal, ensuring that work is carried out responsibly with minimal impact upon wildlife. We provide ECoW for protected species, including bats, badgers, reptiles, great crested newts and nesting birds.

Based in Hempnall, Access Arborists provide tree surveys and ecological support throughout the surrounding areas of Norfolk, Suffolk and East Anglia.
