Using Drafting Software Like ArborCAD

The tree protection plan (TPP) is typically a part of the Arboricultural impact assessment but can also be provided as a separate plan sheet in a variety of formats. Our plans are detailed drawings created using drafting software like ArborCAD. They include:

Tree locations and identification numbers.

The boundaries of the Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) and Structural Root Zone (SRZ).

Color-coded diagrams indicating which trees will be retained or removed.

Specifications for tree protection measures such as fencing, trunk and branch guards, and ground protection.

Site-specific details like locations for non-destructive excavation (NDE) or areas requiring arborist supervision.

Along with a TPP a specification sheet is often included in the drawings or as a supporting document that details written instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Tree Protection Plan is necessary in various situations, including development projects, landscaping or site modifications, and when applying for planning or tree removal permits. It ensures that existing trees are protected during construction, grading, or soil disturbance, and is often required as part of the development application process to address tree preservation from the outset. Additionally, when construction or modifications occur near trees, a Tree Protection Plan outlines measures to prevent damage to the tree’s root zone and canopy, ensuring compliance with regulations and safeguarding tree health.

Preparing a Tree Protection Plan typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the site and the number of trees involved. This timeframe allows for a thorough assessment of the trees, including their condition, root zones, and potential impacts from proposed activities. If additional consultations, surveys, or revisions are needed, the process may take longer. Expedited services can often be arranged for an additional fee if a quicker turnaround is required.
