Ecological Impact Assessment
We were centrally involved in developing the Ecological Impact Assessment ‘best practice’ guidelines, giving us a detailed understanding of the process and its underlying principles


Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) forms the foundation of our ecological assessment work.
We will feed our ecological survey results into the early stages of your masterplanning process to ensure that pragmatic solutions to ecological issues are embedded into your scheme design. This gives your proposals the best chance of success.
We undertake Ecological Impact Assessments on projects of all scales across numerous development sectors. We routinely produce standalone Ecological Impact Assessments for smaller projects and ecology chapters for Environmental Statements as part of more complex Environmental Impact Assessment developments, such as:
-
Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects
-
Major strategic residential and mixed-use developments consisting of 10,000+ units
-
Commercial schemes
-
Ports and container terminals
-
Infrastructure projects such as new road bypasses
-
Energy generation projects such as wind farms and energy from waste plants
Local Authority Support
We have been employed by several local planning authorities over the years to assess the ecological aspects of planning application submissions. We have reviewed and commented on countless Ecological Impact Assessments as part of this service.
