Ecology

We have our own in-house team of ecologists who, together, if necessary, with specialist consultants, can provide all aspects of the discipline. These range from the preparation of Phase1 ecological surveys (PEA’s) to surveys of protected species such as bats and Great Crested Newts and full Ecological Impact Assessments...

Mitigation proposals can be prepared to help minimise development impact and we have expertise in calculating the Biological Net Gain requirements for schemes to satisfy National and Planning policy. Other areas of work include invasive species surveys such as for Japanese Knotweed and ecological clerk of works to supervise removal. Advice can be given for habitat enhancement and management.
