Start with the inventory
Bring the tree evidence into the development brief.
Use the project map and tree register as the working source for species, measurements, condition, photographs and retention information.
Development tree workflow
AIA software
for the trees in the plan.
Keep the inventory, proposed works, protection zones, encroachment calculations and report evidence in one arboricultural impact assessment workflow.

Define the impact
Make proposed works and zones visible.
Add proposed works, compare protection zones and calculate NRZ and SRZ encroachment percentages as the design develops.
Explain the result
Carry the reasoning into the report.
Keep maps, schedules, photographs and recommendations connected so the output is clear for project teams and clients.
AIA software questions
Keep the assessment
grounded in the trees.
What does Canopy support for an AIA workflow?
Canopy supports tree mapping, protection zones, proposed works areas, NRZ and SRZ encroachment calculations and clear mapped and PDF outputs.
Can I link AIA work to the tree inventory?
Yes. The AIA workspace sits on the project inventory so tree details, photographs, proposed works and report outputs stay connected.
Does Canopy make the professional decision?
No. Canopy organises the evidence and calculations; the responsible arborist remains accountable for interpretation, advice and sign-off.
