Who We Are

Our Director of Ecology brings extensive ecology experience in the planning space, having spent a number of years as County Ecologist for a large Local Authority, over a decade building and managing the Ecology Consultancy department of a firm of Architects, time as Technical Director of Ecology for a large Civil Engineering business, and many years of volunteering and freelancing in the sector.

Along with our principal and senior ecologists we are able to leverage this extensive experience to provide knowledgeable and sympathetic advice for your development projects of all sizes.

We're friendly, yet professional - even Bobs here who likes to attend site as our health and safety second on occasion!

  • Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEAs)
