Our Process

At CTS, we provide accurate and reliable information, backed by qualifications and years of industry experience:

1. Initial Enquiry & Assessment
   We discuss your goals and legal context—whether you're applying for permission, requesting a risk report, or needing help with development compliance.

2. Site Visit & Survey
   One of our qualified arborists inspects the trees in question, records measurements, evaluates condition, and photographs the site.

3. Professional Report or Application
   We produce a clear, well-formatted document or application—designed to meet local authority or industry requirements. Reports can include maps, recommendations, and relevant tree data.

4. Submission & Support
   If required, we submit documents to your local council and follow up on any feedback, working with you through the process to avoid delays or rejections.

5. Ongoing Consultation (Optional)
   We can continue to advise throughout your project, offering arboricultural input during planning, construction, or future maintenance.
