Tree Shadow Reports

The shade impact of trees on new development may be considered by planner and designer both in terms of how this will affect the quality of life of future occupants and how any resentment caused by tree shade may impact on the tree. It is common for long term pressure to accumulate sufficiently on sites where proximity to mature trees had not been considered, to result in the trees being removed or disfigured by excessive tree work.

Careful consideration at design stage, informed by a professional assessment of shade cast by trees during the day throughout the year, with plans using specialist software depicting the shade pattern throughout the day can be produced by OMC Associates.
