At Ecology Consulting, we understand the importance of protecting and preserving natural habitats while supporting sustainable development. Our Ecological Survey services are designed to help businesses, developers, and landowners meet environmental regulations, minimize ecological impacts, and ensure successful project outcomes.Whether you’re planning a construction project, managing land resources, or seeking compliance with biodiversity standards, our team of experienced ecologists provides the insights and guidance you need.  

Ecological surveys involve the systematic collection and analysis of information about the natural environment. They assess the presence, distribution, and condition of habitats and species within a site, providing vital data for environmental planning and decision-making.  

• Habitat Surveys: Identification and mapping of various habitat types, such as woodlands, grasslands, and wetlands.
• Habitat Condition Assessment: An essential component of baseline data collection used in Biodiversity Net Gain Assessments. 
• Protected Species Surveys: Detailed assessments for species like bats, newts, badgers, and birds, often required for regulatory compliance.
• Impact Assessments: Evaluating potential ecological risks from development or land use changes.

Our approach ensures that every project receives a tailored solution that aligns with its unique ecological context and client requirements.  

We begin with a discussion of your project’s needs and goals. This step helps us identify key ecological considerations and compliance requirements.  

Our ecologists conduct a thorough on-site assessment using cutting-edge tools and methodologies. This includes habitat mapping, species identification, and evaluation of ecological conditions.  

We compile the data into detailed reports, including:  

• Ecological constraints and opportunities reports.
• Ecological Impact Assessment reports.
• Habitats Regulations Assessment reports.
• Biodiversity Net Gain assessments.
• Habitat and Species Management and Monitoring Plans.
