Rural Planning Consultants in Farnham | Ecology Experts
Rural planning in Farnham is shaped by some of the most demanding policy constraints in the South East. The surrounding countryside falls largely within or immediately adjacent to the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and Green Belt designations cover significant areas of the Waverley Borough. For landowners, farmers, and rural businesses, that combination makes specialist planning advice essential from the outset.
At Collington Winter Environmental, we provide practical, ecology-led rural planning consultancy in Farnham and the surrounding area. Our planning consultants work with clients at every stage, from initial feasibility through to submitted planning applications, helping to identify what is achievable and how best to present proposals to the local planning authority.

Biodiversity Net Gain and Rural Land Use in Farnham
Biodiversity Net Gain is increasingly relevant to rural planning projects across Waverley, and sites within or close to the Surrey Hills National Landscape carry particular ecological sensitivity. Early consideration of BNG requirements can help landowners understand how habitat management and environmental enhancement may support, rather than complicate, their wider planning objectives.
We advise clients on how biodiversity requirements relate to their land, helping to align ecological and planning strategies from the earliest stages of a project.
