Advice & Method Statements of Implementation for special engineering features i.e. roads and utility services around tree root systems.

- Hedgerow surveys – Certain hedgerows are protected under the Hedgerow Regulations 1997 and so surveys are often required to identify if particular hedgerows qualify as ‘important’ (and so protected) under the Regulations particularly in respect of development. We are able to provide surveys and management plans for hedgerows.
