Our ecology surveys identify the presence or likely absence of protected species within a site. This enables mitigation to be devised to ensure all work is done in accordance with legislation, therefore avoiding possible prosecution.
Our Clients
Almost all development sites have the potential to support protected species.
Identifying ecological constraints early in the development planning process can help avoid costly delays and complications further down the line.
Early recognition of ecological enhancement opportunities can also pay dividends if they align with wider biodiversity policies and objectives. As sustainable development principles acknowledge the need to improve biodiversity and ecosystem services.
