Tree Surgery Planning Tools

Small practical tools to help you prepare the job. Use them freely before deciding whether to make an enquiry.

No name, contact details or postcode needed. Your choices stay on this page and are not sent with an enquiry or saved by these tools. Reloading clears them; exported copies stay on your device.

Tree work brief selector

Clarify the desired outcome before a tree professional assesses species, condition and appropriate work.

Enter the information you already know.

Assumptions and limits

  • Braintree District Council provides protected-tree and conservation-area information for its area. Nearby addresses and individual trees still need their own authority and designation checks.
  • No climbing, cutting specification, stability assessment or permission is supplied by this tool.

Related guidance: Tree assessments · Pruning enquiries

Tree work access checklist

Make access and handover questions visible without designing how the work should be carried out.

Tick only items you have already checked. Unticked items become open questions.

Assumptions and limits

  • Checking these items does not establish a safe working method or satisfy wildlife, planning or highway requirements. Do not approach a damaged tree to complete the list.

Using these notes for a Braintree job

Use the note to make the scope clearer when speaking to a business. Braintree town and the surrounding area are not one uniform property type: access, older fabric, shared assets and the relevant authorities must be checked for the address. A calculation or completed checklist does not settle those questions.

Review the tree surgery services for the work itself. These tools do not book work, select a provider or supply an emergency response. For an urgent situation, use the relevant service guidance and official reporting routes.

Property-specific checks: Braintree planning and building control · Protected trees information. Confirm that the address falls within the authority’s area.

We’re an independent enquiry service and do not carry out the work. We review your request and, with your consent, may share it with up to three suitable local businesses. An enquiry does not book work or guarantee a reply, quote or attendance.
