 BS5837:2012 Tree Survey: Explanation of Survey Criteria

Area around tree deemed to contain sufficient roots and rooting volume to
maintain the tree’s viability, and where the protection of roots and soil
structure is a priority. *The RPA has been manipulated to allow for various
e.g.: young, semi-mature, early-mature,
site features, i.e. roads, structures or changes in levels. Please refer to the
mature or over-mature
Sequential reference number cited Tree Constraints Plan for these changes.

Category U trees are those in such a condition that they
cannot be realistically retained as living trees in the current
context for the long term.

The following survey should not be interpreted as a report on tree health and safety. Aspect’s opinion of tree condition and structural potential is valid for a limited period of
12 months from the date of inspection. Validity is assumed in the absence of inclement weather and no change to the trees existing setting.
