Trinity Crescent, Tooting Bec
- The planning consent approved construction near to mature trees on the site boundary subject to certain design techniques and working methods
- Close liaison with the project engineer identified ways to minimise the impact on existing trees and this was translated into an Arboricultural Method Statement
- Arboricultural site inspection was a requirement of the planning condition
- Induction of the Site Manager enabled self inspection of general operations with arboricultural expertise present for key operations
- The tight site necessitated construction near to existing trees and machinery worked from ground protection boards
- Trial holes were excavated by hand in the location of proposed piles and relocated accordingly to avoid significant structural roots
