A tree survey in Mumbles is required for planning applications near protected trees, when a mortgage lender flags trees on site, and where insurers assess subsidence risk from tree roots.
Swansea Council requires a BS5837 survey for planning applications involving trees within the site or on adjacent land. A Tree Preservation Order makes it a criminal offence to fell, top, lop or damage a protected tree without consent.
A mortgage lender requires a tree report when trees stand within influencing distance of the property on clay soil. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC accept the report. Without it, the lender withholds funds until the risk is assessed.
Tree roots draw moisture from clay soil, causing the ground to shrink and the foundations to move, which cracks walls. Insurers require a report showing species identification, root spread assessment and management recommendations before agreeing cover.
Tree survey types available in Mumbles include Tree Condition Reports for private tree management, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements and BS5837 surveys for planning applications to Swansea Council.
