BS5837 for Architects
|
Overview
BS5837 gives recommendations and guidance on the relationship between trees and the design, demolition and construction processes.
Existing trees are an important factor on development sites and trees are a material consideration in the UK planning system. The British Standard is intended to assist decision-making with regard to existing and proposed trees in the context of proposed development. Root systems, stems and canopies, with allowance for future movement and growth, need to be taken into account in all projects, including those that do not require planning permission.
BS5837 follows a logical sequence of events that has tree care at the heart of the process. This presentation guides architects through the process highlighting the principles and procedures to be applied to achieve a harmonious and sustainable relationship between trees and structures.
