Breckland Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission

If you’re planning a development in Breckland, understanding the local planning process is essential. Whether you’re looking to extend your home, develop new housing, or undertake a commercial project, getting the paperwork right is key to a smooth process.

At Collington Winter Environmental, we specialise in providing professional ecological consultancy services for projects in and around Breckland. Our team assists developers in meeting environmental planning requirements, ensuring applications comply with policies and minimising the risk of unnecessary delays.

In Breckland, many developments require an ecological survey. Whether it’s a simple tree survey or a more detailed protected species assessment, understanding the local environment is key to ensuring your project complies with planning requirements.

Collington Winter Environmental provides a range of ecological services to help guide your project through the process:

• Ecological Appraisals – we’ll assess how your site interacts with local wildlife and natural features
• Protected Species Surveys – If your development could impact protected species, such as bats, birds, or newts, we’ll conduct the necessary surveys and suggest mitigation strategies.
• Tree and Landscape Assessments – Understanding the impact on trees, hedgerows, and the overall landscape is often a crucial part of the planning process.
• Biodiversity Net Gain – We can help you meet the government’s goal for biodiversity net gain, ensuring that your development not only avoids harm but enhances the local environment.

We understand that the planning process can be daunting, especially when ecological requirements need to be considered. At Collington Winter Environmental, we aim to make the process as straightforward as possible. Our team is happy to help answer questions, offer guidance, and provide the necessary ecological support to ensure your application meets all the required standards.
