Drafting Services in Sydney - How do trees affect your residential home extension project?
Home extensions is very attractive to many home owners because of a variety of reasons:
1. It's cheaper than knock down and rebuild.
2. You could possibly still live in it during the construction stage, avoids the rental cost.
3. It's faster in process.
4. It still gives you the extra space without the need of removing the whole dwelling.
Whether these reasons applies to you or not, one thing that you've got to be aware of is the TREES on your land! Trees can/may significantly impact the overall design of your extensions.
To most of the councils, trees are treasured. Many trees and vegetation in the lands; even those on "private" land, may be protected under the Local Environmental Plan of the belonged council. If in any way that you want to prune or remove the tree, you will need to get a consent from the council with supportive documents stating the impact of it.
If you are planning to build an extension to your beloved home, make sure you consult your residential design drafting company to assist you with the "tree" aspect under your DA applications and lodgement.
When you are looking to remove a tree, it is often that an arborist is required to be engaged for a report. An arborist (also known as the Tree surgeon), is a professional in the practice of arboriculture, which is the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants. They first assess the tree type, species, its current status and its impact to the overall environment. This report will then need to be submitted to council as part of your Development Application.
