Whether you're working on residential, commercial, or industrial developments, our ecological assessments will help you secure the necessary permissions while promoting sustainable and environmentally responsible practices.

Biodiversity Assessments

Conducting thorough evaluations and implementing strategies to enhance local biodiversity for development projects, in line with the latest UK legislation. Our team of experts ensures that your projects comply with the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements, as mandated by the Environment Bill. This legislation requires all new developments in England to achieve a 10% net gain in biodiversity, meaning that any habitat loss or degradation must be compensated by enhancing biodiversity elsewhere, preferably within the same locality. We provide detailed assessments, use biodiversity metric tools to quantify gains accurately, and offer recommendations to help you meet these legal obligations. By promoting sustainable practices and contributing positively to the natural environment, we help you navigate the complexities of ecological requirements and secure planning permissions for your development projects.
