What Types of Tree Survey Are Available in Old Cwmbran?
Three tree survey types are available in Old Cwmbran: Tree Condition Reports for general condition assessment, Mortgage Tree Reports for lender requirements, and BS5837 surveys for planning applications.
Tree Condition Reports (TCR)
A Tree Condition Report assesses the health, structure and safety of trees on a property, without reference to planning or lending requirements. Homeowners, landlords and property managers request this report for tree management or dispute purposes.
Mortgage Tree Reports (MTR)
A Mortgage Tree Report is required when a lender flags trees near the property during a mortgage application. The report satisfies the tree-related conditions set by major UK lenders before funds release.
BS5837 Tree Surveys
A BS5837 survey categorises every tree on site into four grades, sets root protection areas and produces a tree constraints plan. Torfaen Council requires this survey for planning applications affecting trees.
