We offer a comprehensive range of assessments, including Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA), detailed Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA), and tailored Ecological Constraints and Opportunities Plans (ECOPs).

Additionally, we conduct UK Habitat Classification Surveys (UKHab) and Priority Habitat Assessments to evaluate a variety of ecosystems. For more complex vegetation types, our National Vegetation Classification (NVC) surveys provide in-depth analysis.

We also offer customized botanical surveys, surveys for invasive non-native plant species, and expert guidance on habitat creation and restoration planning, ensuring sustainable ecological enhancement for the long term.

To meet statutory biodiversity net gain (BNG) requirements, we provide a comprehensive array of services designed to enhance ecological value. Our offerings include detailed habitat condition assessments for habitats, hedgerows, and watercourses, along with the necessary statutory metric calculations to evaluate biodiversity value accurately.

We specialize in preparing BNG reports to support planning applications, and we develop tailored Biodiversity Gain Plans and Habitat Management and Monitoring Plans. Additionally, we conduct thorough surveys of potential donor sites, assessing their unit value and identifying opportunities for biodiversity net gain uplift, ensuring a comprehensive approach to ecological enhancement.

Our team specializes in surveys and mitigation planning for a variety of protected UK species. For bats, we conduct Preliminary Roost Assessments (PRA), building and tree activity surveys, and detailed roost inspections, including tree climbing when necessary. For great crested newts, we provide eDNA testing, Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) assessments, presence/absence surveys, and population size estimates. Additionally, we survey for water voles, otters, reptiles, dormice, and birds, including targeted assessments for key species like peregrine falcons, barn owls, black redstarts, skylark and waders.

We specialize in obtaining protected species licences to facilitate planning and development. Our services include Protected Species Licences for bats and great crested newts and participation in the Bat Earned Recognition (BER) scheme. We also provide comprehensive licensed support for badgers, utilizing the badger class licence as needed, and assist with District Licensing for great crested newts where applicable.

Our consultants can assess your site for invasive non-native species and provide guidance on appropriate management, ensuring compliance with environmental legislation and planning requirements.

To help meet planning obligations and satisfy local authority conditions, we prepare Biodiversity Enhancement Plans (BEPs), Construction Ecological Management Plans (CEMPs), Landscape and Ecological Management Plans (LEMPs) and other ecological documents.

We will ensure that ecological requirements tied to planning consent are met efficiently and professionally. Our expertise will help you stay compliant and keep your project on schedule.

We offer Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) services to ensure that construction and development activities comply with environmental legislation and planning conditions. Our experienced ecologists provide on-site monitoring, advice, and reporting to safeguard protected species, habitats, and ecological best practices throughout your project. We help mitigate risks, support compliance, and maintain smooth operations from groundworks to completion.

We develop bespoke conservation management plans tailored to a wide variety of habitats and land types. These include Local Nature Conservation Sites, nature reserves, woodlands, grasslands, and commons, with recommendations grounded in current best practice and site-specific needs.

Our management plans provide clear, practical guidance for protecting and enhancing biodiversity on your site. We develop tailored plans based on thorough ecological assessments, aligning with legal requirements, local policies, and landowner objectives. Our plans support long-term habitat health, species conservation, and sustainable land use, ensuring responsible stewardship and informed decision-making.

In partnership with Ecotype Genetics Limited, we offer a fast and reliable DNA-based species identification service for UK and Ireland mammal species. This specialist support enhances accuracy in complex ecological assessments.
