Congratulations! You've finished your tree report and its available for download on your project page.
Depending on your LPA, the report and maps will be required early in the planning process (potentially at initial application). At the planning application stage, you just need to demonstrate that you have undertaken an assessment (certain LPAs will call this a "tree constraints plan").
How to download your documents
You can download the documents on the main menu. When you have completed the journey, the buttons will light up in yellow. You only need to press these buttons once, and then the report will be generated and sent to you via email. Please note that the metric may take a few minutes to be generated and sent to you.
Completing the Planning Portal application
On the Planning Portal journey, when you have answered the tree questions (usually, if you're downloading a report the answer to both questions will be "yes").
Go to the Add plans and documents section
Drag your downloaded report onto the Add supporting documents section
You will be asked to enter the Select Document Type. Click this and then choose Tree Survey. Press continue.
In document description type in the following:
Preliminary tree survey to assess potential impacts (e.g., RPA/canopy encroachment, felling, pruning) to trees and whether further evidence is needed under the Local Validation Requirements. Not a BS 5837 survey.
Click upload and you're done!
