If your tree is protected by your local Tree Preservation Order (go here to see your local TPO), then your local council might ask you to get a report from an independent arborist. The arborist will make up a detailed report on the health, safety and their recommendation for the tree moving forward.
This is a document prepared by an arborist giving an over view of the trees health and safety. Reports are normally requested by the city if a resident wants to remove a protected tree. The city arborist will seek an unbiased second opinion about the Safe and Useful Life Expectancy (SULE report) of the tree and their recommendation for retention or removal.
Yes. Tree surgeon or tree doctor is just another name for an arborist. The word comes from the word Arboriculture which is the course they study to enter the profession.
No. A council will only ask for an arborist report for a second opinion. They council arborist will have his own idea on what needs to be done and the recommendation of an independent arborist will go a long way to away their decision, but the final say is with council.
When you get a tree report, you don’t have to submit it to council. You can actually get another opinion from another professional arborist. You will need to pay for a second report, but they could see some things that the first arborist did not. In theory, you can get as many reports from different experts as you like and just submit the one that has a recommendation for removal.
There is no hard and fast rule on this, but I would say that council would like to see the recommendation from an arborist report that is no more than 12 months old. The condition of a tree can change from month to month, so anything over a year old will not be as valid as a fresh report. If you are submitting to council for approval, then I recommend you do it asap.
