From preliminary assessments through to construction monitoring and long-term stewardship, we provide the expertise your project requires at every stage. Our services are designed to integrate with standard development timelines while ensuring thorough environmental protection.
Discuss Your ProjectA thorough evaluation of how proposed developments will affect local ecosystems, wildlife populations and ecological connectivity. Our assessments go beyond checkbox compliance to provide genuine insight into environmental consequences and opportunities.
Strategic frameworks for transforming degraded land into thriving ecosystems. Whether rehabilitating post-industrial sites, creating wildlife corridors between fragmented habitats, or enhancing existing green spaces, our restoration plans balance ecological ambition with practical delivery.
Since January 2024, most developments in England must demonstrate a minimum 10% biodiversity net gain. Our accredited assessors apply the statutory biodiversity metric to quantify habitat value before and after development, identifying precisely what enhancement is required to achieve compliance.
Many development sites harbour legally protected wildlife. Our licensed surveyors hold Natural England Class Licences for great crested newts, bats, badgers, dormice, water voles and other protected species, ensuring surveys are conducted to the standards required by regulators.
During construction, maintaining ecological safeguards requires on-site expertise. Our Ecological Clerks of Works provide supervision during sensitive operations, ensuring mitigation measures are implemented correctly and wildlife protection conditions are met throughout the build programme.
Ecological success must be demonstrated over time. We design and deliver monitoring programmes that track habitat establishment, species colonisation and management effectiveness across the 30+ year timescales required for biodiversity net gain commitments.
Ecological surveys are constrained by species behaviour and vegetation growth. Plan ahead to avoid costly delays.
