A tree survey in Ross-on-Wye is required for three reasons: a planning application affects trees protected by Herefordshire, County of Council, a mortgage lender flags trees on the property, or an insurer identifies subsidence risk from nearby roots.
Herefordshire, County of Council requires a BS5837 survey when a planning application affects trees on or near the site. A Tree Preservation Order makes it a criminal offence to fell, prune or damage a protected tree without council consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when a valuation surveyor flags trees close to the property during the mortgage valuation. Without the report, the lender withholds funds until the risk is assessed. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept these reports as satisfying their condition.
Tree roots draw moisture from soil near the foundation, causing the ground to shrink and the structure to move. Insurers request a report identifying the species, assessing root spread and recommending management action before renewing cover.
