Our ecological services

Our ecologists provide a range of cost-effective services including:

  1. Preliminary Ecological Appraisal: A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal Phase 1 Habitat Survey is the first step taken in evaluating a development site. This survey will give you an overview of a site and will assist your understanding of the ecological conditions. This appraisal includes an initial desktop study and a walkover survey. 
  2. Ecological Impact Assessment (EIA): We can contribute to EIAs to evaluate the potential impacts of proposed development projects. They provide insights into how projects may affect local ecosystems and suggest mitigation measures.
  3. Protected species surveys: Our ecologists can carry out surveys for both UK and European protected species on proposed development sites. This is to determine whether any species are at risk. These often include surveys for barn owls, water voles, bat surveys, and great crested newt surveys.
  4. Nature conservation and restoration: We work on projects to restore and rehabilitate damaged or degraded habitats. We develop strategies to bring back native plant and animal species and improve the overall health of ecosystems.
  5. Tree surveys: Our ecologists can conduct tree surveys which are often required by local authorities. These are required if a potential development site will be within close proximity to trees and woodland.

The role of an ecological consultant is to provide excellent communication and support on ecological issues. This is often done throughout the construction or planning process. This is because local planning authorities have various environmental requirements for proposed developments.

Full members of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) can provide further information on these ecology surveys.
