Introduction: Tree Surveys Without the Delay
Tree surveys are a critical part of any development or planning application. They record the location, species, size, and condition of each tree, including trunk diameter, canopy spread, and root protection areas, providing the baseline data needed for compliant design and planning. Yet for many architects, planners, and developers, obtaining a tree survey is unnecessarily slow. Quotes can take weeks, surveyors may be unvetted, and deadlines often slip before work even begins. Managing tree surveys shouldn’t take weeks. It should take minutes.
The Problem: Time Lost, Costs Rising
Every project that involves trees—urban or rural, private or public—requires a professional tree survey to meet planning policy and BS5837 standards.
But here’s the issue:
- Teams waste weeks emailing surveyors for quotes and chasing quotes.
- Getting 3 quotes is time-consuming and prone to varying scopes.
- Surveyor credentials are seldom checked thoroughly i.e. credentials, certifications, track record and insurances – leaving opportunity for risk.
- Late surveys delay planning submissions and design team progress.
For public bodies, the problem multiplies. Local Authorities and Housing Associations must demonstrate procurement compliance and value for money—yet the manual process makes that very challenging and time consuming. For consultants and architects, each project’s admin pile grows while billable time shrinks.
Tree surveys shouldn’t hold back planning or design. The process is outdated—and that’s where RenKap changes the game.

The Value: Faster, Safer, Smarter
Ignoring trees is one of the most common causes of delay at planning stage.
A BS5837 Tree Survey:
De-risks your project by flagging constraints early.
Prevents costly redesigns caused by unaccounted RPAs (Root Protection Area).
Supports planning compliance, ensuring your submission meets BS5837 and local policy.
Protects the environment, aligning developments with biodiversity and sustainability goals.
Put simply: you can’t plan confidently without understanding your site’s trees.
Proof in Practice: Local Authority Speed, Without Compromise
The London Borough of Lewisham recently used RenKap to procure multiple tree surveys across some of their sites. The process—from site upload to surveyor instruction—took only 25 minutes to do using our platform.
Traditionally, that same tender would have taken two weeks and several internal approvals.
With RenKap, the council received three comparable, compliant quotes per site and could evidence best value instantly. The surveys were completed on time, reports uploaded to the digital dashboard, and follow-on recommendations approved with one click.
This is what de-risking looks like in practice—speed and assurance combined.
