Treehouse Consultancy Services

Treehouses are bespoke products that require specialist and sometimes complex planning applications. These applications can be high risk and costly. TRE3DOM has devised a process that gives you the best chance of a successful planning application, minimising risk and ensuring you don’t waste time or money.

We can support you throughout the process; from conception, to design, throughout planning permission to construction. Alternatively, you can define how much help you want – tell us how best we can support your project during any part of the process.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

Interested in a treehouse? The first consultation is free. Our first meeting will give you an understanding of how we work, our products and services and what you can expect from TRE3DOM. This is the first step in making the dream a reality and we will begin to clarify the next steps.

FEASIBILITY STUDY

Where do you start? This is a question we get asked all the time and is precisely why we offer a desktop feasibility study. There is a lot of information out there and it is often overwhelming. The feasibility study gives you all the information you need in one place allowing you to get a clear understanding of the project, its commercial viability and the likelihood of planning permission success.

*a feasibility study can be completed without a site visit, although we would always recommend especially with complex projects

SITE VISIT

Each Treehouse is as unique as its site. Therefore, a site visit is the logical next step. A TRE3DOM surveyor will visit your site to assess the possible locations, access, services, style, size etc.

Following the visit, a proposal is created and presented. The purpose of this document is to provide several conceptual ideas for the site and to give you an understanding of associated costs, income, return on investment and best next steps.

FINANCING

There are lots of options available for financing. We are familiar with most of these options and would be happy to discuss recommendations based on our experience. Click here and check out our blog for more details.

PRE-PLANNING APPLICATION

A pre-planning application will help us gain an insight into the council’s view on your proposition so that we can gauge the likelihood of a successful application.

The council will also sometimes suggest amendments to the plan and recommended surveys. This process minimises risk without spending the time and money involved in a full planning application.

The detail required in the pre-planning application is dependent on the scale and complexity of the site and project. Inevitably, there are costs involved in this, however, surveys and designs submitted can be used in the full application, if you decide to go ahead.

FULL PLANNING APPLICATION

The aim of the full application is to provide the council with all the information they need to assess how your treehouse development will benefit the local economy, environment, community and tourists.

A full planning permission application, contains everything in a pre-planning application, but expands on the ideas presented to give the council a comprehensive understanding of the project, allowing them to thoroughly assess the merits of the application.

This will include, but is not limited to; Site plan, Proposed Sections & Elevations, Site Drainage Plan, Access drawings, Market Research, Ecology Reports and Landscaping Plans

ARCHITECTURAL VISUALISATION

Computer generated visuals or walk throughs give everyone from planning officers to financiers a better understanding of your vision. We use these visuals to give you an idea of what your site will look and feel like before breaking ground and help to bring your project to life. Contact TRE3DOM to find out more.
