1 Introduction
1.1 Instruction and brief
1.1.1 Ravencroft Arboricultural Services have been instructed by Bidwells LLP
acting on behalf of Mansells Ltd to provide an arboricultural method
statement for the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of a
new academy building, associated access roads, pedestrian walkways,
playing fields and car parking at Thetford Academy, Croxton Road, Thetford.
1.1.2 The method statement will be undertaken in accordance with the
expectations of British Standard 5837:2005 ‘Trees in Relation to
Construction - Recommendations’ (unless superseded by more recent
research) and is based upon the information presented within the associated
Arboricultural Implications Assessment (MAN/THTAC/AIA/01A).
1.2 Limitations
1.2.1 Ravencroft Arboricultural Services are not responsible for the related
accuracy of any information received by a third party for the purpose of the
tree survey or development proposals. No checking of independent third
party data will therefore be undertaken.
1.2.2 This methodology must be read and integrated into the appropriate
development phases, which falls outside our field of expertise.

1.2.3 If any part of this statement is unclear or conflict arises with the proposed
staging of events, the appointed site arboriculturist must be consulted for
clarification or further guidance. The omission or avoidance of any instruction
provided below renders the information provided null and void.
2 Implementation phases
2.1 PHASE 1 – Pre commencement
2.1.1 The contractor must appoint an independent arboriculturalist to oversee the
project who will monitor, record and confirm the implementation and
maintenance of tree protection measures and method statements. This
person must be an arboriculturalist as defined within BS 5837:2005 and
must not be an employee of the client, the design team or the contractor.
2.1.2 Prior to commencement of any activity on site, the contractor must arrange
and effect a pre - commencement meeting between the appointed
arboriculturalist, a design team representative and project manager to review
and confirm extent of arboricultural involvement, the scheduling of site visits
and the efficacy of tree protection measures. This will allow the identification
of any design changes since the completion of arboricultural implication
assessments and the resolution of any remaining foreseeable issues prior to
vehicle movements on site. A summary of the decisions made and the final
schedule of inspections will be recorded by the arboriculturalist and where

necessary (such as the amendment of tree protection plans or barrier
specifications) agreed with the Norfolk County Council tree officer in writing.
Confirmation of subsequent agreement will be forwarded to the design and
construction representatives to allow commencement.
2.1.3 The contractor must retain a copy of the tree protection plan (see appendix
2) on site and the project manager will be responsible for communicating the
recommendations of this method statement to all staff and operatives on
site.
2.2 PHASE 2 – Root investigations
2.2.1 A root investigation trench must be undertaken along the line of the
proposed access road where it lies within the RPA of T9 and T11 in order to
inform the final construction. The extent of the roadway and the calculated
RPAs should be marked out in advance by the contractor using the
dimensions given in the tree survey schedule within the associated
Arboricultural Implications Assessment (MAN/THTAC/AIA/01A) (a copy has
been included within Appendix 1).
2.2.2 The investigation will involve the excavation (either by the appointed
arboriculturalist or under their supervision) of a trench using an excavator
with an un-toothed bucket to a minimum depth of 600mm (or the proposed
construction depth, whichever is greater) with a width no greater than
300mm. Due to the distance anticipated (± 40 metres) the trench should be
broken into multiple two metre trenches if considered appropriate by the
Ravencroft Arboricultural Services
Arboricultural Method Statement – Valley Primary School Norwich NPS/VALPS/AMS/04
6/10
appointed arboriculturalist provided the distance between trenches does not
exceed two metres.
2.2.3 If roots are discovered, excavation must cease although exposure of the
discovered roots to assess their significance can be achieved using hand
tools if considered appropriate. The appointed arboriculturalist will document
the findings of the investigative trench (including the location of significant
roots above 25mm in diameter) and propose recommendations for
construction depending on the revealed root morphology which must be
communicated to both the design team and the Norfolk County Council Tree
Officer. The trench will be promptly backfilled on completion with areas
suitable for re-excavation by hand clearly marked.
2.2.4 Final design will be prepared by a suitable qualified and competent individual
based on the recommendations of the appointed arboriculturalist. The details
(which will include final levels) must be agreed with the LPA Tree Officer
before commencement.
2.3 PHASE 3 - Implementation tree works
2.3.1 If the specification for tree works is older than 12 months or relates to trees
that have experienced a material change in circumstances (i.e., have been
subjected to construction traffic) then the appointed arboriculturalist will re-
inspect the site and ensure that the specified works detailed in the tree
survey schedule within the associated Arboricultural Implications
Assessment (MAN/THTAC/AIA/01A) remain relevant and necessary (a copy

has been included within Appendix 1). This includes any trees to be removed
or pruned to facilitate the development or vehicle access that have been
subsequently identified as necessary to the scheme and that are agreed
(either directly or implicitly) as part of the proposal.
2.3.2 All tree works must be carried out by a suitably qualified arborist appointed
by the project manager; preferably one from the Arboricultural Association
Approved contractors list or by an ISA certified Arborist. All works must
comply with BS 3998:2010. After completion of all specified tree works, the
project manager will notify the appointed arboriculturalist.
2.3.3 The appointed arboriculturalist must inspect all completed tree works prior to
commencement of any construction to ensure full compliance with the
approved specification. This inspection may coincide with the inspection of
tree protection measures required by the following stage.
2.3.4 Should any further tree work become necessary as a result of unforeseen
circumstances, a specification schedule detailing the proposed works must
be produced by the appointed arboriculturalist and agreed by the LPA Tree
Officer in writing prior to implementation.
2.4 PHASE 4 - Implementation of tree protection measures
2.4.1 All tree protection barriers will be installed by the construction team as
shown on the agreed tree protection plan prior (101111/C in appendix 2)
prior to allowing any delivery of construction materials / plant or works
connected with the development. These will be constructed using weld mesh

panels on a framework of scaffolding or similarly sturdy material driven into
the ground to a suitable depth to ensure its stability and compliance with
BS5837:2005 Figure 2. Weatherproof notices must be attached to the tree
barriers stating; “Construction Exclusion Zone - Keep Out” and including the
contact details of the appointed arboriculturalist and the LPA Tree Officer.
The project manager will notify the appointed arboriculturalist upon the
completion of the installation of all barriers.
2.4.2 The appointed arboriculturalist will undertake a site inspection within 24hrs of
notification of the above to confirm and record that all tree protection
measures are fit for purpose and correctly positioned (and that all facilitation
pruning has been undertaken correctly if not previously recorded). The
condition of the trees will be cross referenced with the preceding survey and
any discrepancies noted and photographically recorded where appropriate.
Any arboricultural issues that arise (such as accidental damage) will be
resolved in agreement with the Norfolk County Council tree officer and
recorded. Confirmation of the installation of tree protection measures and
any material change in tree condition or health will be forwarded to the
project manager and LPA tree officer in writing.
2.4.3 All tree protection measures must remain in place until the end of the
development period, it will be the responsibility of the project manager to
ensure all such protection remains in place and any sections damaged duly
repaired or replaced as a matter of high priority. If for any reason any section
needs to be moved then the appointed arboriculturalist must first be
consulted.

2.5 PHASE 5 – Demolition and Construction
2.5.1 Due to the space afforded by pre-commencement tree removals and the
installation of tree protection all required demolition of structures and
subsequent construction can be undertaken any time after the confirmation
by the appointed arboriculturalist (see section 2.4.2) with the exception of the
following elements.
2.5.2 The areas of the existing surface within the tennis courts that are within the
assessed RPAs of the retained trees within G6 must be removed under
supervision by the appointed arboriculturalist. This can be undertaken using
an excavator with an un-toothed bucket to lift sections of the surface for
removal by hand. Where it is assessed by the appointed arboriculturalist that
there is a risk of damaging significant roots, hand tools should be used to lift
and break the surface. After removal of the surface, an assessment should
be made by the appointed arboriculturalist regarding the suitability of
retaining the sub-base and method of its removal should that be considered
appropriate. Any exposed roots must be covered by between 100 - 300mm
of good quality topsoil within eight hours of their exposure.
2.5.3 The pile or post locations for the proposed suspended walkway pedestrian
crossover that are within two metres of the base of either T9 or T14 must be
excavated by hand to the required depth. The embankment may be scraped
clear of vegetation to depth of no more than 150mm using hand tools only.
Any machinery used to auger the reminder of the post holes or drive piles
must operate from suitable ground protection as identified by the appointed
arboriculturalist.

2.6 PHASE 6 - Completion
2.6.1 Upon completion of the project and after construction and vehicle
movements of site have finished, tree protection will be removed by the
construction team. Subsequently, the project manager will notify appointed
arboriculturalist of its removal.
2.6.2 The appointed arboriculturalist will undertake a final site inspection within
48hrs of notification of the above. The condition of the trees will be cross
referenced with the preceding surveys, any discrepancies noted and
photographically recorded where appropriate. Any arboricultural issues that
arise (such as accidental damage) will be resolved in agreement with the
Norfolk County Council tree officer and recorded. Confirmation of the
removal of tree protection measures and any material change in tree
condition or health will be forwarded to the project manager and Norfolk
County Council tree officer in writing.
2.6.3 The appointed arboriculturalist will produce a compliance report summarising
the combined notes and history of the development with regard to the trees.
If tree protection has been maintained and method statements followed
effectively this can demonstrate a proactive approach, diminish claims of
negligence and help discharge relevant planning conditions prior to
handover. This report will include an overview of the impact of the
development on the trees and propose any final amelioration or mitigation
works that are necessary. This will be submitted to the project manager and
Norfolk County Council tree officer.

Alphanumeric reference assigned to allow cross referencing between all plans and within the main text.
Stem diameter is measured at 1.5m from ground level for trees with a single stem at that height. Where this is not the case, the measurement is taken just above the basal root flare (where the stem diameter becomes consistent narrower).
Defines the relative stage of the tree’s development within the environment as follows: NP – Newly Planted; Young - <33% Life expectancy (LE); Semi Mature – 33-66% LE; Mature – 66-100% LE; Over Mature - >100% LE.
Lateral canopy spread as measured at the four cardinal points (north south, east & west).
The Root Protection Area (RPA) of the tree is calculated from the stem diameter as per section 5.2.2 of BS5837:2005. The subsequent shape of this area on the constraints plans must reflect site conditions and tree habit. The adjacent column shows the same area as an idealised radial model.
Tree category in accordance with section 4.3.1 and Table 1 of BS5837:2005. Retention categories include A, B, C with those rated R typically identified for removal. Subcategories (numbers) reflect particular values to aid assessment. Text is coloured to correspond with the plans.
Orientation (N, S, E or W) and height from adjacent ground level of the lowest point of the canopy. Where only one side of the canopy has the potential to be affected by development this details will be included to maintain relevance.
Comments include details of any identified structural defects, notes on form and location. Subsequent recommendations include any necessary remedial work specifications and reference to any replacement planting (subject to details within the main conclusions).
The estimated remaining contribution of the trees (as per section 4.2.6 of BS5837: 2005) in the existing environment precluding any development. This information typically informs the categorisation of the trees (adjacent).
Summarises the structural condition of the basic parts of the tree/s and its overall physiological (abbreviated to Physio.) state as follows: Bad – Significant irredeemable defect; Poor – Significant defects redeemable by significant pruning works; Fair – Minor defects redeemable by significant pruning works; Good – No defects present or inconsequential defects not requiring any practical works; Decline – Progressive and irreversible physiological deterioration; Dead - >90% moribund or dysfunctional tissue present.
