Our ecological services
Our ecologists provide a range of cost-effective services related to the environment and development. Some of the key services that we offer include:
- Biodiversity Assessment: Our ecologists assess and monitor the diversity of plant and animal species within specific ecosystems. This information can be used to determine whether a proposed development will meet BNG requirements. These requirements must be met for a local planning authority to grant planning permission.
- Preliminary Ecological Appraisal: A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal Phase 1 Habitat Survey is the first step taken in evaluating a development site. An Ecological Appraisal will give you an overview of a site and will assist your understanding of the ecological conditions.
- Ecological Impact Assessment (EIA): We can contribute to EIAs to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of proposed development projects. They provide insights into how projects may affect local ecosystems and suggest mitigation measures.
- 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, bats, and great crested newts following a preliminary ecological appraisal.
- 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.
- Arboricultural surveys: Our ecologists can conduct tree surveys which are often required by local planning authorities. These are required if a potential development site will be within close proximity to trees and woodland.
The role of an ecologist is to provide expert advice and support on ecological and environmental issues. This is often done throughout the construction or planning process. This is because local planning authorities have various environmental requirements for proposed developments.
