Arboricultural consultant in Bristol
ArbLogic SW provides independent tree surveys, reports and LOLER inspections across Bristol — for householders extending a terrace, developers bringing forward a brownfield site, and landowners responsible for trees beside busy streets and paths.
Every survey and report is carried out by Elliott Bowerman, a qualified arboricultural consultant (Level 4 Diploma in Arboriculture, TechArborA, QTRA Registered User and LOLER Inspector). Because ArbLogic SW doesn't carry out tree work, the advice stays impartial.
Trees and planning in Bristol
Bristol City Council is the local planning authority for the whole city, so planning applications, Tree Preservation Order applications and Conservation Area notices all go to the council, whose tree officers review the arboricultural information submitted.
Where trees are lost to development, the council can require replacement planting under the Bristol Tree Replacement Standard, which links the number of new trees to the size of the trees removed. Accurate stem-diameter measurements in the BS5837 survey therefore matter from the outset.

It can. Bristol City Council applies its Bristol Tree Replacement Standard, which sets the number of replacement trees according to the size of each tree lost to development. Planning for this early — with accurate survey data — avoids surprises later in the application.
