About tree survey

If there are trees on or near your site, most councils will want a tree survey to BS 5837 before they’ll decide a planning application. It records every tree worth keeping, how construction could affect it, and what protection is needed during work.

Getting signed off in England

In England, your council’s building control team or a registered building control approver checks the work. They issue a completion or final certificate once they have the reports they need, such as the as-built SAP, EPC, air test and any sound or ventilation test results.
