Capital asset value to amenity trees

[RobArb]

I'v just been reading about Capital asset value to amenity trees or (CAVAT)

 

is it specifically designed for London or can it be used anywhere?

 

Who came up with it and decided on the figures to calculate the CAVAT of a sinlge tree?

 

What with more and more people complaining about trees as a liability rather than an asset, was wondering if this could be a UK wide model?

[David Humphries]

London Tree Officers Association developed the idea with Chris Neilan

not seen these, cheers:thumbup:

 

could this sort of scheme/assessment be rolled out nationwide?

 

i know each LA is different monetary/budget/ideas wise but as stated there are great number of benefits that trees bring to our society

"It is intended for local authorities in particular together with other public authorities which manage publicly owned trees. It may also be used by other public bodies, including the courts, private institutions and individuals. CAVAT complements other tools of arboricultural analysis, such as single tree hazard assessment systems. So far as possible it draws upon objective evidence and published data, but it also relies on expert arboricultural knowledge and in some cases assessments that are specific to CAVAT. It can therefore only be used by arboriculturists who have received relevant training, and who have the appropriate skills and experience."
