Services - Trees & Planning
The importance of trees within the planning process has increased significantly in recent years. Trees are a material planning consideration and Local Planning Authorities now require detailed tree information to support planning applications where trees are identified for integration.

Environmental Impact Assessments
Aspect consultant’s have experience in contributing towards Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA’s). These are commonly substantial collaborations involving an array of specialist knowledge at a pre-application or strategic level. We work closely with professionals from other disciplines to provide baseline studies and informed impact assessments. By gathering data at an early stage in the strategic planning process, the significance of any negative site impacts can be quantified and their mitigation designed and implemented. Aspect is able to provide comprehensive EIA chapter information on the following: Tree & Hedgerow Assessments; Landscape & Biodiversity Assessments; Baseline Bat Surveys; Phase 1 Ecological Assessments.
