Ecology

Meeting planning obligations and delivering for nature

Planning authorities are demanding ever-more detailed ecological information before greenlighting an application. This means supplying the correct data at the right time, presented in the right way, is crucial for your project’s success.

Our team, which includes accredited members of CIEEM, offers comprehensive ecological support to meet these requirements. 

We offer a range of services from initial habitat baseline surveys and preliminary ecological appraisals to reptile surveys and the production of habitat management and monitoring plans. We also regularly carry out BNG baseline habitat surveys for landowners and developers.

Clients including farmers and landowners, homeowners, residential and commercial developers, and utility companies trust us to help them navigate their ecological requirements, whether they want to put up a new agricultural building, convert an existing one or pursue a large-scale project  on a new site.

We can help you with:

• Preliminary ecological appraisals
• Pre-acquisition assessments
• Protected species surveys
• BREEAM assessments
• Mitigation planning and implementation
• Biodiversity net gain strategies
• Organising protected species surveys (great crested newts, bats, water voles or dormouse, for example)
