A fast, cost-effective initial assessment to identify ecological constraints early in the planning process. Helps de-risk sites, avoid delays, and scope any further survey requirements.
Clear, policy-compliant calculations to demonstrate measurable biodiversity uplift. Pragmatic strategies to achieve BNG targets efficiently and streamline planning approval.
A practical, policy-compliant plan to secure long-term biodiversity gains. Clear, deliverable management and monitoring strategies that are realistic and cost-effective over the full 30-year period.
Targeted, proportionate surveys designed to meet planning and legal requirements. Including Bat Surveys, Nesting Bird Checks, Great Crested Newt, Badger, and Reptile surveys.
Accurate habitat mapping to inform planning submissions, biodiversity calculations, and impact assessments — providing a reliable foundation for decision-making and scheme design.
Clear, robust assessments aligned with planning policy, focusing on practical mitigation and deliverable outcomes to support successful applications.
Targeted assessments to address potential impacts on designated sites, ensuring full compliance with Habitat Regulations requirements.
We assess hedgerows to determine whether they are legally protected under the Hedgerow Regulations, providing clear guidance for your project.
Practical, site-specific CEMPs that are easy to implement, with clear constraints drawings and Ecological Clerk of Works support during construction.
Responsive, commercially aware site support to keep works compliant and progressing without unnecessary interruption throughout the construction phase.
Ecology input to support BREEAM assessments, helping developments achieve targeted ratings through practical, cost-effective ecological enhancements and evidence-based reporting.
Two of the most commonly required ecological surveys — carried out by experienced ecologists to current best practice standards.
Bat surveys are required for many planning applications where buildings or trees may be affected. We carry out preliminary roost assessments and detailed emergence/re-entry surveys using the latest detection equipment, in line with BCT Good Practice Guidelines.
Nesting bird checks are a legal requirement before vegetation clearance or demolition works during nesting season. Carried out under our Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) service, these checks ensure your project stays legally compliant throughout construction.
Use our Survey Calendar to find out which ecological surveys are available each month and plan your project timeline accordingly.
