3     S COPE & L IMITATIONS
The purpose of this report is to provide advice and guidance for the subject trees at the project
site.

Consult Arborist has reviewed the supplied documentation relating to the site, the existing
trees/vegetation, and the site layout with consideration to the design, future use, and
buildability of the project. This report aims to provide guidance and direction on the practical
consideration of the required retention of the trees.

Where appropriate, guidance is offered for proposed tree protection measures that can be
implemented to support the long-term viability of the retained protected vegetation.

No trunk decay detection equipment or ground radar was used as part of this Arboricultural
Assessment; no conclusive comments on what may have been or may be happening within
the internal structure of the tree or the tree’s roots will be made. No tissue or soil samples
have been collected or submitted for testing.

The information contained in this report is the author’s opinion and is a ‘snapshot in time’ of
each specific tree’s health and structure at the time of the inspection, and no guarantee can
be given that faults or issues may not arise in the future. The information is directed by the
documents provided and listed in Documents Reviewed. The information provided is taken to
be true and accurate and will be discussed as such.

This report does not take into consideration changes to the site design or activities for which
Consult Arborist has not been requested to comment on or been advised.

See attached photographs, plan extracts, and maps for identification purposes. Photographs
of the subject trees have been taken on an iPhone/iPad when required, and the light/exposure
has been adapted to improve the clarity of the picture quality.
