  • Ecosupport has an experienced land management team available to carry out any habitat creation or ecological enhancement works that may be required as part of the management plan. Our team can quickly and pragmatically undertake the work properly to meet planning conditions and under the supervision of a suitably qualified ecologist if needed.

  • Creating a positive impact on site biodiversity can improve planning approval prospects and support local and national policy goals. Enhancements may also be required to offset habitat loss elsewhere. With expert ecologists and a skilled habitat management team, we deliver efficient, cost effective site improvements, from habitat creation and restoration to installing features for protected species.

  • Our specialist ecologists will deliver practical and pragmatic expertise for predominantly small-scale residential schemes and will be headed by Ashley James MCIEEM (ecologist at Ecosupport for 6+ years, holding Dormouse, Bats and Great Crested Newt licences).

    From Preliminary Roost Assessments and protected species assessments to clear advice on Biodiversity Net Gain, the team will ensure that each job receives careful attention to detail delivered in a cost-effective manner, helping clients navigate planning with confidence.

Ecological Survey Calender

Our Survey Calendar provides a structured overview of the survey types we undertake across the year. Each entry identifies the periods in which surveys can be carried out most effectively, as well as times when conditions may limit their reliability. This allows you to plan works with a clear understanding of seasonal constraints and ensures surveys are scheduled at the most appropriate times.
