Our Tree Consultancy Services
Advising on Local Council Bylaws
Our tree consultancy service can advise and guide you on your local council bylaws and consent requirements regarding the maintenance, trimming and/or removal of trees that are growing on private land.
Protected Trees and Permissions
Our expertise and consultancy service can guide homeowners, businesses and developers, on Council permissions for the trimming of protected trees, and confirm the status of specific tree/s.
Providing an Assessment of Environmental Effects Report
We can provide an Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) Report to support your Resource Consent, which may be required under the Resource Management Act (RMA).
Where the trimming or removal of a tree (or trees) may require consent, it is important you get the appropriate advice prior to commencing any on-site work. At Armes Tree Solutions we have extensive expertise around the requirements regarding completing a comprehensive and supporting AEE application.
This includes:
- A correct / specific description of the proposed activity, detailing the removal of the selected trees, their locations, tree species, size etc.
- Identifying likely and actual effects on the nearby environment from the removal or trimming of the tree/s.
- Detailing any of the adverse effects that can be mitigated and actions to be taken.
- Outlining the likely impact on neighbours and other affected persons, plus consultations held so far with any affected parties and their responses.
Tree Evaluation Report
Our consultancy services include providing Tree Evaluation Reports, where are a monetary value needs to be determined / calculated for one or more trees on the property. This may be required for legal or insurance purposes. Our Tree Evaluation Reports can be based on an amenity value approach, or a monetary value, depending on your specific requirements.
We can provide our tree consultancy service regarding existing District Plans, and/or intended changes to the District Plan. This includes understanding permissions and non-permissions around tree management, trimming and removal. Each local Council and has their own District Plan with specific tree management regulations. This can include tree protection in certain instances, being for ‘notable trees’ (for specific individual trees) and for a group / cluster of trees.
Development of an Arboricultural Impact Assessment
As certified arborists we can provide an Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA), which may be required for small or large sized development work, occurring around an established tree or cluster of trees. This detailed report assesses the impact of new building structures, drainage pipes, landscaping plus more, on the existing tree/s.
Status of Health of Tree Report
A Status of Health of Tree Report can be provided for new or existing homeowners and commercial businesses. In this report we can assess the current health status of the tree/s, and provide recommendations regarding best management and care options to maintain the health of the tree. As part of our consultancy service, we can also advise whether it is advisable for the tree to be removed (or not), depending on its health, the local environment, and its surrounds.
