Here's an overview, which compares the current BS with it's predessesor. I think it covers most of the terminology:

Here's some LPA info about what's required in the survey: http://www.chelmsford.gov.uk/media/pdf/7/1/BS5837_leaflet.pdf

 

I might be able to help if you have any specific questions.

I know Duncan who wrote that summary and can say that it's pretty concise. That said, there are myriad permutation of understanding and interpretation... it's a minefield!

Hi, What would help would be to see any completed tree surveys, tree constraint plans, arboricultural implications assessment, tree protection plan or arboricultural method statements under BS5837:2005
