Every Hayden’s consultant has previous experience of working within Local Authority Planning as Arboricultural/Tree Officers. We intuitively understand tree management and planning issues, and therefore are ideally placed to act as consultants to Local Authority Planning Departments.
What you get?
As in-house consultants we can assist with all tree and planning related issues on an ad-hoc basis, or provide cover in the absence of an Arboricultural Officer. We can assist with:
- Applications to work on trees covered by Tree Preservation Orders (TPO), conservation areas or planning conditions.
- Consult on planning applications where trees are an issue.
- Assist with appeals and enforcement.
- Advise on tree policy development, tree stock management, tree risk assessment and planning guidance.

- Latest rugged field computers with internet connection – with GPS sub metre accuracy with ability to upload – topographical survey, background drawings, photographs.
- Picus Tomograph – ultrasonic decay detection to assess structural integrity of trees.
- CAD - dedicated team of CAD experts to produce easy to understand drawings that illustrate the trees’ impact on buildings.
- Root Identification through DNA analysis.
