Our company has a broad distribution of Survey Schedules to:
Information collected for Potential Developments and property transfers. These critical first step assessments ensure architects and engineers designs are based on real world conditions and eliminate any assumptions which in turn prevents costly structural or legal issues later in the project.
Our surveys are required to evaluate potential impacts on the environment and provicde accurate data for the infrastructure of your new project's planning process, these include topographical, geotechnical and protected species surveys. These assessments and inspections playa major part in the suitability for the landscape, measures put in place for potential risks and permissions granted by the governing authorities for any potential site proposals.
Protected Species Assessments
Geotechnical & Land Contamination Survey
Our on-board specialist ecologist personnel have nationwide registered governed licenses to carry out all intended protected species surveys.
Some of our methodology and procedures include:
These methods are minimum risk to the great crested newts and are completed with extra care for the avoidance in preventing harm to protected species & their natural habitats.
Our findings and results are then submitted and must include at least 4 visits and recognise the full impacts of potential developments within the projects infrastructure.
All 18 species of bats found in the UK are fully protected and operate under the guidance of Department for Environmental, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
We ensure all relevant surveys are carried out and thorough inspections are in place for preservation and continuation of protected species in the UK.
The ecologist habitat enhancement plan is part of the planning conditions process submitted to natural England to gain all relevant licenses and permissions.
Phase 1
PRA - Preliminary Roost Assessment
Phase 2
BERS - Bat emergency and re-entry survey.
Known Roosting Locations
Actions / Measures
Often living in family groups from around 3-5 badgers per set, these groups can be found in a network of tunnels and underground dens navigating through fields & embankments around our countryside.
These mammals are safeguarded by the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulation 2017. It is illegal to injure, kill or mistreat a badger or damage, destroy or disturb a badger set under the protection of the Badgers Act 1992. These offences carry a maximum fine of £5,000 or six month custodial sentences. Our direct survey and assessment ensures full adherence to all current legislation and guarantees with our thorough inspections.
Taking onboard full risk to the species and all natural habitat compensation for any adverse effects.
With the latest software survey technologies, our detailed information report accurately maps and documents your proposed development land and all ground levels, providing vital information needed for the planning process and required development specification input.
These key stages of the planning process familiarise the architects design features to achieving economic efficiency within the development and create environmentally-friendly infrastructure ensuring our real-world natural landscapes effectively combine with the modern day world with very little impact on our natural surroundings.
The preparation, planning and implementation stages are the most important aspect of any future projects. Our comprehensive professional reports monitor and review all topograph and geotechnical representation with realistic effects encountered or predicted occurences navigating through complex terrains.
