OUR PURPOSE
Helping People and the Natural Environment
Our purpose is to help people achieve their plans while ensuring wildlife and habitats are properly considered and protected. We provide clear, pragmatic and cost-effective ecological advice that supports the planning process, helping projects move forward while maintaining appropriate protection for the natural environment.
OUR APPROACH
Early advice. Clear answers. Less delay.
Getting an ecologist involved early in the planning process can save time, reduce costs and help avoid unexpected issues later on. An initial survey allows potential ecological constraints to be identified early, so they can be addressed before they cause unnecessary delays to your project.
Our approach is straightforward and proportionate. We establish what your project actually requires, undertake the appropriate survey and explain the findings in plain English. We only recommend further survey work where it is genuinely necessary.
We understand that homeowners are working to real budgets and timescales. Our focus is therefore on pragmatic, cost-effective solutions, responsive communication and clear, planning-focused reports, helping you obtain the ecological information you need and keep your planning application moving forward.
Ecological Surveys for Residential Projects
We undertake the ecological surveys most commonly required for householder planning applications and small-scale residential development, providing practical advice tailored to your project.
Bat Surveys
PEAs
Other species
Preliminary Roost Assessments (PRA/PBRA) for extensions, loft conversions, re-roofing, renovations and other residential works that could affect bats or their roosts.
Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA) to identify habitats, protected species and other ecological considerations relevant to your proposed development.
Assessment and practical advice relating to nesting birds and other protected species or ecological features where relevant to your project.
