What a tree management plan does

A tree management plan turns a survey of the tree stock into a long-term, prioritised programme of inspections, works and planting. It helps whoever is responsible for the trees budget sensibly, keep them safe and healthy, and show that they're being managed responsibly.

Plans can also be required by planning conditions on new developments, to secure the long-term care of retained and newly planted trees.

FAQs

Questions about tree management plans

What is a tree management plan?

A tree management plan is a long-term, prioritised schedule for looking after the trees on a site — a survey of the tree stock combined with a programme of inspections, works and planting. It helps estates, schools, housing providers and developers budget for tree work and show their trees are managed responsibly.

Who needs a tree management plan?

Anyone responsible for a significant number of trees, especially where the public has access — estates, schools, parish and town councils, housing providers, sports grounds and commercial sites. Plans can also be required by planning conditions on new developments, to secure the long-term care of retained and newly planted trees.

Can you give an independent second opinion on proposed tree work?

Yes. Because I don't carry out tree work, I can give an impartial view on whether proposed pruning or removal is necessary, proportionate and correctly specified — useful before you commit to significant work.

How much does a tree management plan cost?

It depends on the size of the site and the number of trees. Every site is different, so you get a clear fixed quote up front, usually within one working day.
