About Arboriculturists
Arboriculturists are tree consultants who prepare the surveys and assessments councils require when development may affect trees. Unlike tree surgeons (sometimes informally called arborists) who carry out the physical works, arboriculturists provide independent professional advice — categorising trees under BS 5837, identifying impacts in Arboricultural Impact Assessments, and specifying protective measures in tree protection plans and arboricultural method statements. They advise on root protection areas and the constraints these place on layout and construction methodology. Trees covered by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or within conservation areas have legal protection, and any work requires council consent. For developments near significant trees, an arboriculturist's report is a validation requirement — without it, the council will not register your application.
