Ecological Impact Assessment

To prepare an Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA) we conduct the baseline surveys and work closely with you, the client, and your design team to undertake a careful analysis of the likely impacts of your proposal on wildlife resources.

We then work to devise the appropriate mitigation. Where necessary we take an active part in consultation and engagement with various stakeholders including statutory agencies, local interest groups and interested members of the public.

We have extensive experience of preparing Ecology Chapters for EIAs, and detailed ecological analysis for Appropriate Assessments both at the project and strategic scales. Our services include:

• Identifying, quantifying and evaluating the potential impacts of defined actions on ecosystems or their components
• Providing a defensible approach to evaluation of ecological effects
• Providing advice on how project decision-making may be affected by significant ecological issues
• Designing and negotiating mitigation measures for any identified impacts
• Working with a variety of clients (including developers, planners, engineers and architects) to provide practical and innovative solutions to potential ecological impacts on development schemes
