Tree Safety Condition Survey & Your Responsibilities as a Landowner

Trees are highly valued for their individual beauty and as an intrinsic and key element of nature. However, as living organisms, they are susceptible to disease (e.g. Acute Oak decline, Chalara dieback of Ash, Bleeding canker of Horse Chestnut, Phytophthora), pests (e.g. Moths, Beetles, Leaf miners, borers), fungi and the extremes of our unpredictable weather.
As a landowner, you have the responsibility to look after and care for the trees within your ownership, to ensure they do not pose a threat to the general public.

According to the Forestry Commission, where a tree shows external evidence of decay or structural weakness the owner of the land on which it stands is normally liable for any damage it causes by breaking or falling. The courts expect landowners to inspect their trees regularly and obtain specialist guidance on interpretation of symptoms and assessment of tree safety.

      Specialist Decay Detection Tree Survey in Bolton

      Visual inspection will reveal a lot about a tree, however, occasionally, a tree will show symptoms that suggest problems which cannot be seen externally. Consequently, an internal inspection is needed to assess the tree’s structure.
      At JCA we have tree decay detection methods; the ArborSonic Tomograph, the Wood Density Drill and the Fractometer.

      Advising On Trees With TPO’s And Conservation Areas

      Due to the large potential penalties for illegally carrying out work to protected trees, it is important that the correct procedures are followed if your trees are subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or within a Conservation Area.
      If you wish to undertake work on a protected tree, JCA can prepare a report to support your application. We are also available to submit an application form/notice of intent to Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council on your behalf outlining the works proposed on protected trees.
