Choose from the wide range of applied ecology services, delivered by our specialist biodiversity and ecology team.
Maximise the probability of getting your application through planning first time with our comprehensive range of planning ecology services, which includes programme management to build in efficiencies and reduce unnecessary delays.
Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA)
Gain essential insights into a site’s ecology to inform planning applications, including identifying key constraints and opportunities for Nature Positive Development that benefits everyone.
Protected species surveys
Identify whether there are any legally protected species on your site, allowing you to build in the necessary steps to gain planning permission and mitigate against risks and delays.
Key document peer reviews
Ensure any environmental statements or other ecological assessments for local planning authorities and planners are robust and compliant with an independent expert review.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) assessments
Learn how your project can achieve statutory BNG requirements in the most impactful way, delivering Nature Positive Development and increasing the likelihood of success at planning.
Ecological and Environment Impact Assessments (EcIA and EIA)
Assess the potential impact of your development early, helping you secure planning approval faster, safeguarding against costly surprises, and protecting long-term asset value.
Planning condition discharge
Navigate two crucial ecological planning requirements – Landscape and Ecological Management Plans (LEMP) and Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMP).
BREEAM ecology assessment
Our Suitably Qualified Ecologists (SQEs) can undertake BREEAM ecology assessments to identify site risks and opportunities, as well as post-implementation compliance checks.
Urban Greening Factor assessment
Ensure urban projects get the right balance of green space and biodiversity, boosting investor and buyer confidence, creating planning leverage, and future-proofing against policy change.
