Have an easier ride through planning, and more value from your investment, with our advanced ecological surveys and ecology reports produced to the highest industry standard.
We undertake Biodiversity and Protected Species Assessments, Desk Top Ecology Studies, Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEAs) and Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIAs) for projects throughout England.
This is the basic type of survey done for a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal. It involves mapping habitats and features of potentially significant ecological value on your site. Our method is based on the industry standard but goes further to enable a more quantitative evaluation of your site.
This report is based on a Phase 1 Habitat Survey of the site prior to site clearance. It identifies the ecological risks and opportunities on your site and makes recommendations to help you comply with wildlife legislation and maximise your credits from the Land Use and Ecology section of BREEAM.
This report is based on a Phase 1 Habitat Survey and desk study. It identifies the ecological risks and opportunities on your site and recommends further surveys, impact avoidance and enhancement actions as needed to help you comply with wildlife legislation and related planning requirements.
This is like a PEA with more emphasis on biodiversity gain. It identifies the biodiversity risks and opportunities on your site and recommends further surveys, impact avoidance and enhancement actions as needed to help you comply with wildlife legislation and related planning requirements.
This report is similar to a PEA but focussed on protected species only. It identifies the protected species risks and opportunities on your site and recommends further surveys and impact avoidance actions as needed to help you comply with wildlife legislation and related planning requirements.
This involves using data searches, photography and maps to identify potential for ecological issues on your site. If potential exists, then PEA or Protected Species Assessment would be recommended in the report to help you comply with wildlife legislation and related planning requirements.
This is undertaken as part of an Environmental Impact Assessment or after detailed surveys of issues identified in the PEA. It describes the likely ecological impacts on your proposals and recommends mitigation as needed to help you comply with wildlife laws and related planning requirements.
