This can make their ecology extremely sensitive to small changes in land use that are not always immediately obvious. Various legislation has been devised over the years to protect species and habitats and a comprehensive understating of ecology is therefore essential for any proposed works that change, fragment or damage wildlife and its varied habitats.

Ecological impacts from large development and remediation projects can usually be expected, but something as small and seemingly simple as a domestic loft conversion could cause significant ecological damage – e.g. by disturbing bats (a protected species) within their roosts, which could lead to criminal prosecution. It is therefore vitally important for potential impacts on ecology to be assessed by competent professionals before any building or development planning works are undertaken.
