Planning - Arboricultural Impact Studies (AIS)

An Arboricultural Impact Study (AIS) considers how a proposed development and its associated trees will co-exist and interact in the present and future.

"Trees are an integral part of our natural heritage and there is an increasing awareness of the value of trees in town and country. This awareness is coupled with concern at the rate at which mature trees are being lost from Ireland's landscape."

(www.enfo.ie, ENFO is a a service website of the Department of the Environment and Local Government).

Many Local Authorities are now requesting AIS as part of planning applications.

Our Arboricultural Impact Studies (AIS) considers how a proposed development and its associated trees will co-exist and interact in the present and the future.

We recommend that AIS are carried out at an early stage of the planning process as it can identify and remove potential conflicts between the trees and the requirements of the development.

Our AIS consider the following:

Tree root protection (distances, engineering specifications)
Changes in levels
Changes in surfaces
Installation and layout of services
Demolition of existing buildings, surfaces.
Exposure due to Tree removal.
Sunlight and shading.
Construction site access.
Planting
Insects

An AIS may also include site plans, tree survey schedules, diagrams, photographs, landscape architecture plans.
