If You Are A Homeowner, Architect Or Developer Our BS5837 2012: Tree Surveys Will Help You Get Planning Consent First Time.
Maybe you’ve seen some of your hard earned work fall flat on its face, as your submission gets rejected due to poor quality mapping or reporting.
You’ve probably experienced, being left out in the cold facing the cold harsh realities of a consultant that has promised the world and just not delivered that report when they said they would, holding up the whole application.
It seems that nearly all of us in this business have experienced something like this from time to time. And truth be known, it’s at times like these that experience on the ground and in the trees is what counts.
Self taught surveyors dumping best practice in one last desperate attempt to cut costs and win work. Leaving nearly every planning submission skating on thin ice and open to submission rejection without a second thought.
And therein lies the big problem, and why most end up between an inevitable rock and a hard place.
Somewhere in my experience, between the utter mad panic of schedules, rock bottom budgets and the ever increasing demands for supportive data.
Its exactly why in my experience, something always has to give.
And when something has to give, the lowest price consultant is usually given a shot. For most that means… the schedule stalls, the planning stalls, the project fails.
Which just goes to show that most of us working in this type of environment must do something different to produce these reports to stop the planning submission from collapsing like a house of cards.
That’s exactly why I want to have you consider the possibility that there is a NEW way for you to use an Arboricultural Consultancy.
A new way that means you can remove worry of poor quality data, shoddy maps or submission headaches.
Ultimately and possibly for the first time, a way to commission and obtain the report you need to support your planning application, a way that will get your planning back on track with our trees first not last promise.
So right now, if you are a homeowner, architect or developer and you are sick and tired of the shoddy reports, sick and tired of being let down, sick and tired of trees scuppering your project.
Then I urge you to click on the button, get your instant quote so we can talk about the report you need, when you need it and how ROAVR can add real value with no additional cost to your next tree report.

Here's What People Say About Our Surveys
I am an architectI was looking for a ecology survey for a site beside a canal.Roar's work was top quality. They are a great outfit who look after you well.
I used Roavr services twice and very happy with there help and guidance. On both projects they have helped me with professional advice which has been extremely helpful in moving the projects along and providing support in the planning stages for our application.Would whole heartedly recommend .
I am an architectural assistant.I was looking for a bat survey because it was a requirement to support a planning application.Without the survey I would have not have been able to validate a particular planning application.Thanks to ROAVR we now have a wonderful connection with the ecology team and received wonderful assistance from Karalyn especially!
I am a planning consultant and have cases across the country with a focus on schemes in the south and south east.I have used ROAVR for a while now and especially since the new legislation required BNG calculations and metrics since April 2024.They cover it all and efficiently both in terms of costs and response time. I would recommend them and will continue to use them and go nowhere else. i also like the manner in which they approach mattersEcology is now at the heart of any applications and without them many cases would be delayed to an unacceptable level.
I give ROAVR group five stars for several reasons:1) They were one of the quickest companies to come back with a quote for an urgent bat survey that was needed for one of my projects2) They were the most competitively priced of all the quotes3) They were able to book the survey within a few weeks of appointment4) The site visits by the ecologists were prompt and professional (two surveys required from 8pm to 12 midnight)5) They were able to turnaround the report as a priority. I needed the results quickly as one of the the final items to submit for a planning application. Normally the report is 10 day turnaround but Matt Harmsworth provided the report within 48hrs of the final visit because he knew it was urgent.I would definitely recommend ROAVR group who provided a 5 star service.Thank you Lucy and the team.
I am a novice self-builder in the Perthshire area of Scotland. Some six weeks after submitting my planning application the council pointed out that I required to submit an Ecological Survey and a Tree Impact Assessment - all news to me and an unwelcome delay!After a lengthy process of scouring the internet for potential suppliers ROAVR Group soon rose to the top of the pile for both understanding my requirement and providing a comprehensive and timely proposal for completing the work. In the end they delivered both reports more than a week before the target date, with excellent communication along the way.The high quality, professional reports came with a video commentary to explain the main points, and identified further requirements that the council may require – very helpful.I highly recommend ROAVR to any self-builders out there who need handheld through the process of satisfying these planning pre-requisites!
Thanks to ROAVR we now have the required Preliminary Roost Assessment, another planning application can be validated and we can continue to develop our clients homes. We will use them again Many thanksJustin Cunningham - Director Plan-It Partnership.
Thanks to ROAVR for their great work preparing a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal for me.At all times I found their communication and advice helpful, effective and fast. The report was delivered on time - thank you again.
Having agreed a fee and time scale ROAVR adhered to this exactly and their report was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend and reuse them in the future.
Roavr have been excellent. Good communicators and produce professional reports for multiple projects across a broad area.
Very Good quick response and well done job. Hope this will go through the planning austerity.
Thanks to Matt and his team for a straightforward process. Matt was onsite on the date that was booked, and our PEA was provided in a timely fashion. Walk through video provided was very beneficial, describing the contents and detail of the report. Thanks again and highly recommended.
Landed into trouble with the local authority and almost jeopardised my planning application after engaging Roavr Group, largely owing to non-compliance when it comes to Bat assessments. Roavr also washed their hands off and disappeared from the scene. It cost me money and more importantly, time to get things under control. Will not be using them again and definitely will not recommend.
I needed a Tree survey for my mortgage aplication and I went through with ROAVR Group! Excellent team, great experience! Faster and professional! Definitely I recommend them!🥰
2 stars off for failing to deliver our report within the promised timeframe despite telephone chasers, resulting in hassle from insurers and wasted time. Otherwise all very professional and thorough.
ROAVR Group's service is exceptional. Their professionalism, expertise, and thoroughness stood out throughout the process. The final report was well-organized and prompt.A huge shoutout and special thanks go to Peter, who went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was nothing short of outstanding.I highly recommend ROAVR Group for anyone in need of tree survey assessment. Great service!
It is, refreshingly, one of the most professional services I have come across, and what made it even better is they were also the most cost-competitive.
I cannot praise the professionalism and skill your operative demonstrated on day of our tree survey. He was polite, thorough and capable, and provided all the dimensions, photographs, and drawings, for the report to be completed.When we received the completed report I thought was excellent, well written and I was able to understand it.As a team, I cannot express my gratitude enough - so thank you very much!

I chose ROAVR group as they were highly qualified, knew the area well, and they had amazing customer service from start to finish. Really friendly, thoughtful team.We were kept in contact from the team throughout the process, even during the gaps in between the surveys. The team genuinely appear to love their job and the work that they do.All the reports were extremely well written, nice and clear and the videos that accompanied them to explain everything was greatly appreciated. The reports highlight the high quality equipment that they use for the surveys and we could see that the work that was done for to a very high standard.Thanks to ROAVR group we now have some expert bat survey reports to submit to the council, we couldn't be happier with the work that they did and the communications we have received.

Homeowner needed trees in front garden assessed for planning application approval. Roavr were very affordable and efficient. Planning now in process.
Roavr-Group provided me with a fast effective, and affordable preliminary roost assessment. The ecologist was knowledgeable and friendly, and the report was detailed and informative. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs these services.
I am a homeowner. Our local authority required a tree survey to apply for planning permission I found ROAVR on google search and I book them for tree survey. The team at Roavr group is very efficient and very cooperative. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.
These guys are just fantastic. Great service, competitive pricing and work at speed when required. Also really know their stuff. And really went beyond what most people would do to help me out. Also very professional reports. Would highly recommend!

I was looking for an ecological survey on some land we own and couldn’t have chosen a better company to deal with. From start to finish excellent communication and very professional. I met Matt at our site and we discussed what was needed and how he was going to go about it. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.
I used Roavr this month for an Arboricultural Survey, not only were their prices competitive, the service was exceptional, swift, professional and the recorded video talking through my survey was extremely helpful.5* Great service would definitely recommend.
Single point of contact, personal service and also a very fast service. The Video advice from the surveyor is a usefull tool for reviewing and understanding advice. I will be using ROAVR again!
These guys are super efficient. No variable pricing structure for how quickly they work. They just get on and do it at good value. Karalyn organising, Connor for the site visit and Matt for the reporting. The whole PRA from first contact to reporting in less than a week. Very impressive. Thank you very much. Dan Abbott
Very professional. I couldn't be more happy with their service. Survey was very detailed and when we asked for a couple of changes for our local Council request, they did it without any problems.Thank you,We will recommend Roavr Group to everyone.
I’m compelled to write a review because I received a 1st class service.My property boundary is filled with overgrown trees but as I live in a Conservation area, I wanted to sought professional advice to understand what I could do without penalties or complaints!I was highly impressed from their service from start to finish. After booking online initially, the phone rang. I suspected it may be ROAVR offering a hard sell and upgrade but was pleasantly surprised to be asked if I’d like a free 15 minute call with one of their arboriculturists. The resulting call proved very helpful and explained my position and options completely.The survey was conducted as planned and the subsequent report was emailed along with a video commentary explaining not just what data the report contained but how specifically it could be used for planning permission etc.Following my review of the report, I arranged a follow-up call to agree next steps. Again, advice from genuine and affable people whom know their stuff and appear to really want to help.I highly recommend ROAVR. Each interaction I had with the team was friendly, helpful, professional and effective!
I needed a professional report on the probable cause of subsidence to a wall structure forming a boundary of my property caused by trees . ROAVR came up with a very detailed report together with photos of the damage and even Ariel shots of the area plus a video walk through. Right from the first contact they were so understanding and professional and swiftly got the task done right on the button of the time window they gave me . Thank you so much I’m sure your report will get things moving with the authorities. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.Good luck and Kind RegardsJames.D
After unexpectedly asked to have a Bat Survey and not sure of process, I can say ROAVR have done a marvellous job. Process explained during survey and video talking through report very helpful.
We had a great experience with ROAVR. Friendly and responsive staff and specialists. Would highly recommend them if you are looking for a tree survey for planning applications.
Possibly one of the most efficient services I have ever had the pleasure to experience.From start to finish each member of the team knew exactly what their role was and so everything fell into place with incredible speed and efficiency. Add that to approachability and knowledge and what more could one ask for. Price wise … value for money says it all. I may need further assistance and am confident I will receive the same excellent serviceThanks to all
Absolutely top service! I was worried about using an online company that I'd never heard of but the service was fast, efficient and really easy to use. The walk through videos accompanying each stage were excellent. I highly recommend ROAVR Group.
This company is amazing. From the very first person we spoke to on the phone, through the person who did our site survey and finally to the person who created our report, we could not have asked for a better customer service. They were calm, professional and just amazing. We slept for the first night in several nights, after just speaking with them, and that was before they'd even done any work and from then it just got better and better.Do not look anywhere else.
Thanks to the excellent, swift and detailed professional work by ROAVR, we have been able to submit our planning on time, after being let down by 2 other companies. Peter, Connor, Lucy, Carolyn and the extended team communicated excellently and went above and beyond to help us out. Thank you.
