Sectors
Built around real development projects
The ecological risk on a solar farm looks nothing like the risk on a barn conversion. Each sector below sets out the projects we handle, the constraints that usually bite, and the services that follow.
01 / Sector
Renewables
Solar, wind and battery storage projects. Pre-application ecological constraint identification through to full assessment support and post-consent monitoring.
Typical projects
Ground-mounted solar
Onshore wind
Battery storage
Grid connection works
Common constraints
Large survey areas with mixed habitat
Breeding and wintering birds
Multi-season survey programmes
Services usually required
02 / Sector
Utilities & Infrastructure
Linear infrastructure, pipeline and cable routes. Ecological survey programmes aligned to programme requirements and Biodiversity Net Gain obligations.
Typical projects
Pipelines and cable routes
Substation upgrades
Water and drainage works
Highways schemes
Common constraints
Extended linear survey corridors
Watercourse crossings
Otter and water vole along corridors
Services usually required
03 / Sector
Housing Development
Outline and detailed planning support for residential schemes, tailored to what the local authority will actually ask for.
Typical projects
Single plots and infill
Urban extensions
Brownfield redevelopment
Conversions
Common constraints
Bat roosts in buildings and trees
Mandatory net gain on most sites
Programme pressure against survey seasons
Services usually required
04 / Sector
Commercial Development
Ecological input for commercial, industrial and mixed-use schemes from pre-application through to discharge of planning conditions.
Typical projects
Retail and industrial units
Office and mixed-use
Logistics and warehousing
Facility extensions
Common constraints
Brownfield habitat of higher value than expected
Nesting birds on existing structures
Condition discharge under time pressure
Services usually required
05 / Sector
Bespoke Works
Conservation management, land management plans and ecological support for landowners, estates and organisations outside the planning process.
Typical projects
Estate and land management
Agri-environment schemes
Habitat creation
Monitoring programmes
Common constraints
Long-term monitoring commitments
Multiple stakeholders
Objectives beyond planning compliance
Services usually required
