BS 5837:2012 Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction – Recommendations

BS 5837:2012 Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction – Recommendations is all set, according to those in the know, to become a “best seller”.

It is of course a fundamental tool and source of guidance for all parties involved with, believe it or not, trees in relation to design, demolition and construction.  If a private householder is planning a modest extension, or if a major player is looking to develop a substantial site, then the local planning authority will advise from the outset that professional arboricultural advice be sought and be presented in accordance with the standard.

The new standard will come into force on 30 April when the 2005 edition will be withdrawn.
