Tree survey information your project can actually use
The most useful survey is the one the rest of the project can keep using. Tree references should stay consistent from the schedule and constraints plan through to the AIA, TPP and any site-supervision records.
Reliable categories, crown information and RPAs create the evidence base for the later design assessment. If the authority has already raised a tree question, send it with the plan so the survey/report sequence can be targeted.
For Oxted projects, the survey should capture the trees that can influence the layout even where they stand just beyond the site boundary. That gives the architect a more realistic picture of the development constraints.
That continuity makes the planning package easier for the design team to manage and easier for Tandridge to follow.
What should you send before the survey is booked?
Start with the Oxted site address, the latest architectural or site plan and the exact wording from Tandridge, your architect or planning consultant. If a topographical survey exists, include it. If somebody has already prepared a tree report, send that too.
Those documents let us understand the stage of the project before we quote. A client who is still testing feasibility may only need the baseline survey and constraints information. A client with a completed planning layout may need the survey data to move directly into an AIA. A post-permission project may not need a fresh survey at all if the approved information remains suitable.
The aim is to commission the next useful piece of work, not the longest possible package.
