Need advice for your project?
Every site is different. The ecological requirements will depend on its location, habitats, proposed development and stage of planning.
If you’re unsure which surveys or assessments may be needed, you don’t have to work it out yourself. Tell us a little about your project and timescales, and we’ll help you understand the likely requirements and what to do next.
