Tree protection during construction. Calculation of tree protection zones in line with as4970. All site constraints considered for solutions and design modifications to minimize impact on trees. Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIAs) are a type of assessment that is conducted to evaluate the impact of development proposals on trees and their surrounding environment.
The purpose of an AIA is to ensure that proposed development activities are compatible with the protection and preservation of trees and the surrounding environment. AIAs are typically required by local planning authorities as part of the planning application process. LSM Tree Advice has experience in assessing the potential impacts of development activities on trees. The AIA process typically involves a site visit by the arborist to assess the condition and value of the trees on and around the development site. We will also evaluate the potential impact of the proposed development activities on the trees and surrounding environment. The AIA report will include a description of the trees and their condition, an assessment of the trees' importance and contribution to the local environment, and an evaluation of the potential impacts of the proposed development activities on the trees and surrounding environment. The report will also include recommendations for the protection and preservation of the trees during the development process, including any necessary tree removal, pruning or relocation activities, and measures to protect the trees during construction activities. Overall, Arboricultural Impact Assessments are an important tool for ensuring that proposed development activities are compatible with the protection and preservation of trees and the surrounding environment, and for promoting sustainable development practices that balance economic, social, and environmental objectives.
