Every landscape tells a story. We help landowners, developers, and councils understand that story—then write the next chapter with care, precision, and genuine respect for biodiversity.

Most development challenges aren't really about paperwork or regulations. They're about understanding what already exists—the hedgerows where dormice nest, the ponds where great crested newts breed, the corridors that connect fragmented habitats across a changing countryside.
Our ecologists spend more time in wellies than at desks. That field-first approach shapes everything we do. When we assess a site, we're not ticking boxes—we're building a genuine picture of ecological value that informs smarter decisions.
The result? Projects that move forward with confidence, backed by robust data that planning authorities actually trust. Fewer delays. Fewer surprises. Better outcomes for people and nature alike.
Have a site that needs assessing? Let's start with a conversation about what you're planning and what might be living there.
Request Site AssessmentThey didn't just tell us what we couldn't do—they showed us creative ways to achieve our development goals while genuinely improving the site's ecological value. The council was impressed, and honestly, so were we.
From preliminary assessments to long-term monitoring programmes, we provide the expertise that keeps projects compliant and ecosystems intact.
Comprehensive EIA services that identify ecological constraints early, preventing costly delays and ensuring planning success from the outset.
Licensed surveys for protected species including bats, newts, badgers, and breeding birds. Full seasonal coverage available.
Detailed restoration strategies for degraded landscapes, from wetland creation to meadow establishment and woodland regeneration.
Quantify your land's carbon storage potential and develop strategies to maximise sequestration through evidence-based interventions.
Expert guidance on ecological matters for planning applications, land management decisions, and biodiversity net gain requirements.
Mandatory BNG calculations and enhancement strategies that demonstrate measurable uplift meeting the 10% minimum requirement.
Ecology shouldn't be an afterthought bolted onto planning applications at the last minute. The projects that succeed—really succeed, with planning authorities, local communities, and the landscape itself—are those where ecological thinking shapes decisions from the beginning.
We identify constraints and opportunities before designs are fixed, saving time and money downstream.
Survey protocols that meet CIEEM standards and withstand scrutiny from local authority ecologists.
Reports written for real people, not just other ecologists. Practical recommendations you can actually implement.
From pre-application advice through construction monitoring to post-completion sign-off.
The UK has lost 97% of its wildflower meadows since the 1930s. Hedgerow networks have been severed. Ancient woodlands fragmented. But development doesn't have to deepen these losses. Done thoughtfully, it can actually help reverse them.
Every project is an opportunity. We're here to help you take it.

What impressed us most was their willingness to find solutions rather than just flag problems. The bat mitigation strategy they designed actually became a feature of the development, and buyers have responded really positively.
