LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY

Ecological processes and ecosystem services

Landscape ecology is the cornerstone of emerging UK ecology policy and aims to plan for ecology at the landscape scale.   

The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act and 1992 Habitats Directive set the requirements for the protection and conservation of species and their habitats in the UK.

As professional ecologists, we deliver constructive advice for land planning solutions. We play a key role working alongside statutory conservation bodies, the local planning ecologist, ecological stakeholders and the client team to ensure compliance with legislation and best proactive, whilst delivering innovative solutions.

Our in-house expertise allows us to provide cost-effective options and present clear, honest advice. In particular we have experience of delivering biodiversity net gain solutions, ecosystem services, and protected species and habitat advice.  
Ecology is strongly affected by timetable considerations as some species can only be recorded in a meaningful way at certain times of the year. We are able to provide advice on these timetables to avoid delays and ensure effective project planning.
