1. Introduction

1.1. Waterman Energy, Environment & Design Limited (Waterman) has been instructed to undertake a survey of trees within and adjacent to land off Fulford Hall Road, Tidbury Green, Solihull (hereafter referred to as ‘the Site’).

1.2. The survey involved collecting data relating to the existing trees to assess their condition and relative merit. This appraisal describes the findings of the survey and highlights the above and below ground constraints posed by the canopy shape and rooting area of the surveyed trees. It also considers the proposed development and outlines the resulting implications to trees.

Tree Survey Methodology

1.3. The tree survey was carried out on 11th and 12th of March 2013 in wintery conditions and 22nd April 2013 in sunny conditions. A ground level Visual Tree Assessment (VTA) was carried out from within, and adjacent to, the Site. The tree survey methodology followed the recommendations set out in BS5837: 2012 ‘Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction – Recommendations’1. This involved collecting the following information on all trees with a stem diameter over 75mm.

Tree Numbers

1.4. ‘T’ prefixes have been used to identify individual trees, commencing with T1. Groups of trees have been labelled with the prefix ‘G’ and are numbered consecutively.

Species

1.5. Species are listed by their common name, both in the schedule and in the report text.

Height

1.6. Tree heights are approximate and estimated in metres above ground level.

Stem Diameter

1.7. The stem diameter of single stemmed trees is measured at 1.5m above ground level and given in centimetres. The diameter measurement of multi-stemmed trees is taken as a combined measurement of all the major stems. Where stems fork or swell the measurement is taken at the narrowest point below the fork or swelling.

Crown Spread

1.8. Radial crown spread is estimated in metres and is listed for each of the four cardinal points. The canopy shape for surveyed trees depicted on the accompanying plans accurately represents the canopy spread as estimated on Site.

Height of Crown Clearance

1.9. This is the height above ground in metres of the attachment point of the first significant branch, or the height to which the lowest (living) branch reaches; whichever is the lower.

Life Stage

1.10. The age of each tree is defined as follows:

Young (Y): Within the first 1/4th of life expectancy;

Middle Aged (M/A): Within the second 1/4th of life expectancy;

Early Mature (EM): Within the third 1/4th of life expectancy;

Mature (M): Within the fourth 1/4th of life expectancy; and

Over Mature (OM): Tree in decline.

Physiological and Structural Condition

1.11. The physiological or structural condition of each tree group has been described, highlighting specific features. The survey involved ground level examination of the external features of the trees. Crown density was noted together with the presence of dead branch wood, small branch die back and fungal fruiting bodies.

1.12. Unless otherwise stated, trees were found to be displaying ‘normal’ characteristics for their species. The structural or physiological condition for each tree has been described as Good (G), Fair (F) or Poor (P). Where appropriate, notes on the structural integrity are provided on form, taper, forking habit, storm damage, decay, fungi, pests, etc. No invasive investigations or climbing inspections were carried out to confirm visual or audible signs of defect or debility and no tissue or soil samples were taken for laboratory analysis. Where identified, signs of substantial defects or debility have been recorded. Where access to a tree was not possible, an estimation of physiological and structural condition has been made.

Estimated Remaining Contribution (ERC) in Years

1.13. The ERC for each tree is based on species, existing and apparent physiological and structural condition of the tree. The ERC may affect proposed development layout. For example, the longer the tree is likely to live the greater the contribution it will make and the greater the need for retention.

Category Grading

1.14. Each individual tree has been given a Category Grading in accordance with BS5837: 2012 to reflect the overall arboricultural value and retention category. The Category Gradings are defined in accordance with the following criteria:

Category Grade A: Trees of high quality and value with an estimated remaining life expectancy minimum of at least 40 years. (Coloured green on the Drawing EED13122-100-A-77-0001-A01.)

Category Grade B: Trees of moderate quality and value with an estimated remaining life expectancy of at least 20 years. (Coloured blue on the Drawing EED13122-100-A-77-0001-A01.)

Category Grade C: Trees of low quality and value with an estimated remaining life expectancy of at least 10 years, or young trees with a stem diameter below 150mm. (Coloured grey on Drawing EED13122-100-A-77-0001-A01.)

Category Grade U: Trees which are in such a condition that they cannot realistically be retained as living trees in the context of the current land use for longer than 10 years. (Coloured red on the Drawing EED13122-100-A-77-0001-A01.)

1.15. These categories are further divided into sub-categories, as defined within BS5837:2012, and reference notes for interpreting these are contained at Appendix A.

Preliminary Management Recommendations

1.16. Any recommendations made for management of the trees (for example, tree surgery), are not a ‘specification’ for tree work. These recommendations are proposed on the basis that they are undertaken by a qualified arboricultural contractor, such as those listed in the Arboricultural Association’s Approved Contractors Directory (Ref. www.trees.org.uk). Any work undertaken by the contractor should be in accordance with best practice, such as the European Tree Pruning Guide2, or required by BS3998: 2010 Recommendations for Tree Work3.

Limitations and Un-assessable Risks

1.17. All trees have been visually inspected from ground level with no climbing, boring or core sampling undertaken. All measurements are metric and approximate.

1.18. The comments made are based on observable factors present at the time of inspection and are based on maximising the trees’ safe life expectancy given their current situation. Although the health and stability of trees in the pre-development context is an integral part of their suitability for retention, it must be stressed that this report is not a tree risk assessment. While every attempt has been made to provide a realistic and accurate assessment of the trees’ condition at the time of inspection, it may have not been appropriate, or possible, to view all parts or all sides of every tree to fulfil the assessment criteria of a risk assessment. Consideration of the potential influence of trees upon shrinkable load-bearing soils or the effects of incremental root or branch growth on buildings is also excluded from this report.

1.19. Trees are living, dynamic structures that can be affected by external conditions. It is therefore not possible to state with any certainty that a tree is safe. During severe weather even healthy trees can suffer stem snap or wind blow. Although relatively rare, there is also a well-known tendency for mature trees to occasionally shed limbs, even on calm days, and this should be acknowledged as a risk that cannot be mitigated. A lack of recommended work does not imply that a tree can be considered safe and likewise it should not be implied that a tree will be made safe following the completion of any recommended work.

1.20. Due to the changing nature of trees and other Site circumstances this report and any recommendations made are limited to a period of two years. Unless otherwise stated trees should be re-inspected regularly to satisfy the ‘Duty of Care’ owed under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 19844, or directly proceeding heavy storms (i.e. force 6-7 and above on the Beaufort scale).

1.21. It is recommended that advice from an ecologist is sought prior to carrying out any works to trees, in order to ensure these are carried out in accordance with (in particular) the protection afforded to wild birds and bats under The Wildlife and Countryside Act5 and The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations6.

2. Findings of Arboricultural Appraisal

2.1. A total of 146No. trees and 27No. groups of trees were surveyed. All trees and hedgerows surveyed are shown on Drawing EED13122-100-A-77-0001-A01 and described within the table at Appendix B. The drawing is based on a topographical survey carried out by Chilcote Engineering Services, dated 04/03/13.

2.2. The site is located at Ordnance Survey (OS) Grid Reference SP 103 755 and covers an area of approximately 11.5 hectares. It comprises a series of six pastoral fields divided by hedgerows, ditches and trees and a narrow woodland belt along its western boundary. The site is bound to the west by Fulford Hall Road and the trees along its western edge were also surveyed, either growing on the pavement or within the driveways of private houses.

2.3. There are two Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) associated with the Site. TPO No 180, which covers the woodland belt along the western boundary of the Site with Fulford Hall Road and was confirmed in 1989 and TPO No 1000 which came into effect on 8th July 2013 and is still subject to confirmation. The latter is an Area Order which covers the whole site and includes the trees within TPO No 180. Copies of the TPOs are contained in Appendix A.

2.4. The trees on Site are principally mature and over mature hedgerow trees which have not received any management for many years. The majority of the hedgerow trees are over 100 years old and are likely to have been planted at the time of field enclosure between 1750 and 1850. Certainly, the field boundaries are delineated as in their current form on the historic map of 1883. Given their age and the presence of a number of characteristic features such as large girth for the species, large quantities of dead wood in the canopy, physical damage to trunk with some major cavities and hollowing, and signs of past pollarding, many of the trees would be described as ‘veteran’ trees as discussed in English Natures publication ‘Veteran Trees, A guide to good management’.

2.5. The growing conditions on site are typical of a rural setting, with the majority of trees growing within field boundary hedgerows within open fields and occasionally adjacent to shallow ditches. The trees located on the Fulford Hall Road were more generally surrounded by hard standing, located on pavements or within the driveways of private houses.

Species Composition

2.6. The surveyed tree stock is predominantly Oak which comprises 91% of the individual trees surveyed. Ash, Yew, Holly, Hawthorn, Alder and Birch occur occasionally, mostly in the narrow woodland belt on the western boundary and along the south eastern boundary of the Site. A single Wild Service Tree (T48A) was found on site.

Health and Condition

2.7. The survey involved ground level examination of the external features of the trees. Crown density was noted together with the presence of dead branch wood, small branch die back and fungal fruiting bodies.

2.8. The majority of the trees surveyed were found to be in fair to good condition. The majority of the trees within the hedgerows have not been managed for many years and if development were to occur across the Site, would require a certain amount of work to reduce deadwood and canopy size to encourage regrowth and reduce the likelihood of limb loss. The exceptions to this were G10, G23, T101, T102, T106, T122, T123, T124 and T125, which have undergone considerable management by electricity contractors to allow access to the overhead lines. The trees growing to the west of Fulford Hall Road also showed signs of more regular management due to their location adjacent to the highway and residential properties.


5

2.9. A total of 9 trees and groups (T24, G10, T37, T38, T89, T126, T138, T144, T145) were found to be dead or dying and are indicated for removal.

Quality Category Grading

2.10. The trees have been allocated Category Grades to reflect their arboricultural, landscape or cultural value (refer to Appendix B and Drawing EED13122-100-A-77-0001-A01). The majority of trees on site were found to be Category Grade B (trees of moderate quality and value) amounting to 47% of individual trees and 41% of groups, this is reflective of the considerable maturity of the majority of specimens on site. 23% of individual trees on site and 48% of groups were found to be Category Grade C (trees of low quality and value). 15% of individual trees were found to be Category Grade A (trees of high quality and value). Singled out as being of particular value were T25, T142 and T143, all oak trees located in the woodland belt adjacent to Fulford Hall Road.

2.11. A number of trees were found to be Category Grade U (trees unsuitable for retention due to poor health and condition) including T24, G10, T37, T38, T89, T126, T138, T144 and T145.

3. Recommendations

3.1. Drawing EED13122-100-A-77-0001 identifies the category grading of the tree stock and, in addition, graphically illustrates the influence that the trees have by virtue of the above and below ground constraints that may be present, represented by their canopy spread and Root Protection Area (RPA), coloured orange on the above mentioned plan.

3.2. The RPA is the area that should be left undisturbed around any retained tree in order to avoid damage to roots or the rooting environment. RPAs are calculated in accordance with the methodology in BS5837: 2012. Generally, any construction activities undertaken within this area have the potential to adversely affect the health of these trees. However, where trees are already surrounded by hard surfacing and built form (as is the case with the trees surveyed along Fulford Hall Road), the rooting characteristics of the trees are unlikely to follow the expected pattern i.e. they will have adapted to their existing urban surroundings. As a result, it is more difficult to identify the likely rooting pattern and hence the RPAs as shown should be considered indicative.

3.3. It is recommended that appropriate measures be taken to protect trees to be retained. A drawing should be prepared that indicates the locations of proposed tree protection fencing to be placed around retained trees during the construction period and which clearly sets out the specification for protective fencing in accordance with the provisions of BS5837:2012. Tree protection fencing should be erected prior to commencement on site to protect the retained trees, together with the measures outlined below, with the aim of ensuring their survival in a healthy condition.

3.4. Once the development proposals are known in detail, an Arboricultural Implications Assessment (AIA) should be undertaken to assess the likely impacts on the tree stock and establish if any alterations to the detailed design can be made to enable the retention of trees which would not otherwise be retained or to avoid unnecessary encroachment into the RPAs.

3.5. An Arboricultural Method Statement (AMS) is also recommended to ensure good working practices around trees to be retained and to limit any unnecessary damage to the trees, either to canopies above ground or to the rooting system below ground. The AMS would also detail procedures for the removal of trees or other vegetation to avoid harm to any trees to be retained and to consider seasonal ecological constraints such as nesting birds and roosting bats.

3.6. Given that the majority of trees have been identified as ‘Veteran’ trees, any management recommendations need to be carefully considered in light of the age of the trees, the ecological and arboricultural advantages of retaining deadwood habitat, the risks associated with falling limbs and the advantages of phasing works across a number of years and also across the tree stock.

4. Summary and Conclusions

4.1. Waterman Energy, Environment & Design Limited (Waterman) has undertaken a survey of trees present on land off Fulford Hall Road, Tidbury Green, Solihull in line with the methodology in BS5837: 2012. A total of 146No. trees and 27No. groups of trees were surveyed. Oak is the most dominant species, constituting 91% of the individual tree stock. The Majority of trees are located in field boundaries within hedgerows, within woodlands or on roadside edges.

4.2. The trees were found to be in largely fair to good health and structural condition, however the majority had undergone very little maintenance in recent years.

4.3. The majority of trees on site were found to be Category Grade B (trees of moderate quality and value) amounting to 47% of individual trees and 41% of groups, this is reflective of the considerable maturity of the majority of specimens on site. Category Grade C (trees of low quality and value) trees on site amounted to 23% of individual trees and 48% of groups. Whilst Category Grade A (trees of high quality and value) trees made up 15% of individual trees on site. Singled out as being of particular value were T25, T142 and T143, all oak trees located in the woodland belt adjacent to Fulford Hall Road.

4.4. Once a detailed design is known, an Arboricultural Implications Assessment (AIA) should be undertaken to ascertain the exact number of trees that may require removal to accommodate development. Tree protection measures for retained vegetation and working method statements for where construction is in close proximity to retained trees/vegetation should also be adopted.

Root Protection Areas (RPA)

ROOT PROTECTION AREA NOTES:

Root Protection Areas are calculated in

accordance with BS5837: 2012. The precise

morphology and disposition of roots may not be

fully reflected by these areas, particularly where

there are hard standings, however they provide a

good indication of potential root constraint.
