OUR SERVICES

Consultancies

We provide Technical Director and Principal level support during busy times of the year, and times of expansion.

 

We are highly experienced ecology project managers, and can support your project as required, from client liaison, to attending project meetings, and undertaking stakeholder consultations.  

We undertake due diligence assessments and technical reviews of reports, including survey, feasibility and strategy reports, Ecology Statements and HRA documents, Management Plans, and documents to discharge planning conditions.

With over 20 years' experience of nationally significant infrastructure projects and agri-environment schemes, we provide a breadth of knowledge and understanding of mitigation to help projects of all sizes.


We provide advice on mitigation strategies from the feasibility stage through to detailed design and delivery, and produce supporting documents, including Management Plans, and reports to discharge conditions and confirm compliance. 

 

We work closely with your project team, from early design stage, to help reduce risk of late stage amendments.

 

With a focus on habitat ecology, we help maximise benefits for both landscape and species.

We provide the full range of ecology technical reports, from baseline survey reports to Ecology Chapters, mitigation strategies, and reports to discharge conditions and confirm compliance.

 

As specialists in Habitat Ecology, we provide detailed Habitat Management and Monitoring Plans (HMMPs) for Biodiversity Net Gain, and Landscape Ecology and Management Plans (LEMPs). 

We undertake monitoring of mitigation and Net Gain sites to inform management and confirm compliance. 


We consult with land owners, developers and stakeholders to agree practicable remedial measures when required,

and update Management Plans accordingly. 

 

For projects requiring confirmation of compliance, we undertake site audits and provide evidence reports for stakeholders.
