Expert Protected Species Surveys in North Wales
Protected Species Surveys
Protected species are a material consideration in planning applications. Developments on greenfield land, brownfield sites, or near sensitive habitats often require a detailed assessment to comply with wildlife legislation, local planning policy, and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act.
Eco-Scope provides professional surveys and reports that:
- Validate your project, demonstrating that ecological constraints have been properly assessed.
- Prevent delays caused by requests for additional information from planning authorities.
- Provide the necessary data to design and implement legally compliant mitigation and enhancement strategies.
Our experienced ecologists hold the relevant licenses to survey a wide range of protected species, including bats, dormice, Great Crested Newts, badgers, and reptiles. We deliver reliable and pragmatic solutions that facilitate responsible development while maintaining ecological integrity.
