Our plan

A clearer route through ecological work

A practical example of how an ecology project can be shaped from first question to construction. The detail changes with every site; the discipline of the process does not.

Example project

Conversion of former agricultural building into two dwellings

The right assessment at the right time reduces surprises, protects habitats and gives the planning process a firm footing.

1

Initial ecology assessment

Understand the site, its habitats and the likely ecological questions.

2

Protected species surveys if triggered

Targeted surveys only where the initial assessment indicates they are needed.

3

BNG assessment

Establish the baseline and identify proportionate opportunities for biodiversity gain.

4

Mitigation and planning support

Turn findings into practical measures and clear planning documentation.

5

Construction / ecological compliance

Stay close to delivery so agreed measures work in the field, not just on paper.

Expected programme

4–5 weeks

Likely total ecological budget

£2,000–£3,000
