"faqs": [
{
"question": "Do I need a tree survey for my planning application?",
"answer": "If there are trees on or near your development site, most UK planning authorities will require a BS5837 tree survey. If a planning officer has already asked for one, or there is a TPO or Conservation Area involved, a survey is very likely mandatory."
},
{
"question": "How much does a BS5837 tree survey cost?",
"answer": "ROAVR provides fixed-price quotes within 60 seconds of submitting site details at go-roavr.co.uk. Price scales with site size and tree count — smaller domestic sites typically start in the low hundreds, larger multi-hundred-tree sites run into the low thousands."
},
{
"question": "How long does a tree survey take?",
"answer": "Most BS5837 reports are delivered within 10 working days of the site visit."
},
{
"question": "Do I need an ecology survey for my planning application?",
"answer": "Many UK planning applications require ecological assessment. If your site has ponds, hedgerows, streams, rough grassland, old buildings or borders ancient woodland or a SSSI, a survey is very likely required. Early advice avoids costly delays."
},
{
"question": "Why do some ecology surveys have a season?",
"answer": "Protected species surveys must be conducted when the species are active. Bat emergence surveys run mid-May to September; GCN surveys mid-March to mid-June (eDNA window mid-April to end June); breeding bird surveys April to June. Missing a season can delay planning by up to a year."
},
{
"question": "Is Biodiversity Net Gain mandatory?",
"answer": "Yes. BNG has been mandatory for most planning applications in England since April 2024, under the Environment Act 2021. A minimum 10% net gain over the pre-development baseline is required. Scotland and Wales are developing separate frameworks."
},
{
"question": "How fast will someone respond to a BNG enquiry?",
"answer": "BNG leads receive an automated email, a WhatsApp message, and a call from the ROAVR office typically within minutes of submitting the form."
},
{
"question": "What area does ROAVR cover?",
"answer": "Nationwide coverage across England, Scotland and Wales. Offices in Inverness, London and Cambridgeshire. Survey consultants are directly employed across the UK."
},
{
"question": "Are the free advisory calls really free?",
"answer": "Yes. The 30-minute calls with Peter (trees) or Jacob (ecology/BNG) are completely free, with no sales pitch. They are phone calls — no Zoom required."
