SURVEYS
We offer a range of initial surveys including; Preliminary Ecological Appraisal, Phase One Habitat Survey
and Extended Phase One Habitat Survey
for which we carry out at least one site visit
and produce a report
identifying habitat types
present on site and the potential to support Protected Species
of Plant/Animal. In addition, we can undertake Detailed Botanical Surveys
and Habitat Suitability Assessment. Our most frequently requested
survey is the Extended Phase One Habitat Survey
(Also called an Ecological Report or Full Ecological Appraisal), which is ideal for accompanying a Planning Application
for development of land. Please use our Contact Us
page for a quote.
For development where existing buildings
will either be demolished, converted/renovated, we recommend a Building Survey
to establish the absence or presence of Breeding Birds
or Roosting Bats, both of which are protected by law. We can also undertake Breeding Bird Surveys
where population monitoring
is required. Should a Preliminary Building Assessment reveal evidence of Bat activity on site, a series of Dawn and Dusk Surveys
would be required to establish species, colony size and roost location. A Bat Low Impact Class Licence
or Full Bat Licence
can then be completed if needed. In addition, Bat and Bird Enhancement and Mitigation Schemes
can be produced as required. Please Contact Us
for advice on the most appropriate survey for your site.
Ponds
are an important habitat for wildlife, in particular for the, legally protected, Great Crested Newt. It is important to seek advice from a licensed ecologist if you have a pond on
or within 500m
of a potential development site. In addition to carrying out Amphibian, Reptile
and Pond surveys, we can assess the likelihood of Great Crested Newt
presence in a pond by using techniques such as a Pond Habitat Suitability Index
and analysis of eDNA
Samples. Should Newts be present on your site, we can provide Great Crested Newt Enhancement and Mitigation Schemes
in addition to Full Newt Licencing. Please Contact Us
for advice on the most appropriate survey and competitively priced quote.
We can offer a range of
Mammal Surveys including
Otter and
Water Vole. Whilst these species are somewhat limited to riparian (river or stream) habitat, the presence of
Badgers on site, can have an impact on any
proposed development. We can offer
Badger Surveys and
Assessment in addition to
Mitigation Plans where necessary. Please
