Before you start
The checker is designed to help, not pretend public data is a legal determination.
Do I need to know which tree survey I need?
No. The quote builder asks what you are doing and recommends a likely survey route. The final professional scope can then be confirmed from your plans, council wording and site circumstances.
Does the postcode check confirm whether a tree has a TPO?
No. It screens available public data at the postcode point and highlights useful signals. Where protected-tree status matters, the local authority record remains the source to confirm.
Can I use it if the council has already contacted me?
Yes. Add the application reference and exact request or condition wording. That usually makes a planning-related arboricultural enquiry much easier to scope.
What happens after I submit?
Your postcode, council context, answers and any planning information you entered are sent together for professional review so the service can be scoped and quoted.
