March 2025 - Arborist Report of the Month

Each month, we feature one of our standout arborist reports to showcase the depth, detail, and professionalism of our work. Whether you're a property developer, council representative, or simply curious about arboriculture—this is your chance to see how we approach real-life situations in the field.

✨ This Month’s Report:
High retention value tree that is proposed to be removed

Tree 3 is a large, mature English oak located at the front of the subject site. The new property owner is in the early stages of planning to demolish the existing dwelling to build their dream home.

Although Tree 3 is a high-quality specimen and an excellent example of its species, the client has elected to remove it.

The client is in the very early stages of design and has provided only preliminary plans for the proposed dwelling. Before proceeding further, they seek clarity on whether any trees on site will pose a constraint. While the initial plans indicate that it would be possible to design around Tree 3 and retain it, the client prefers to remove the tree. As independent arborists, our role is to present the facts and act on the client’s behalf. In this case, no permit is required for the removal of Tree 3, and therefore, no objection from Council is expected.

The client is now fully informed about the tree-related aspects of their site. They understand that all trees on the property can be removed without issue, allowing them to proceed with their plans and invest further in the development of their new home, confident that trees will not present any constraints.
