Environmental Research & Advisory Partnership

read moreBased on current government advice and restrictions we will, for the most part, be working remotely from our homes and avoiding unnecessary travel and social contact. In accordance with guidance from Defra we can still undertake site surveys provided we are able to apply appropriate social distancing to ensure the safety of our team and other people. As such, staff will not routinely be in the office and will be unable to attend group meetings or similar. We will be continuing to operate via email, telephone and video conferencing and will endeavour to handle any calls and e-mails in a timely manner.

read moreWe undertake all types of ecological survey. We listen to and carefully guide our clients and prepare relevant information that is fit for purpose. The scope survey required may range from a simple bat survey, to a portfolio of surveys for protected species and preparation of an Environmental Statement for a major or extensive development. Clients seeking to purchase or manage a site may require preliminary ecological guidance. We undertake simple 'walkover ecological surveys' and prepare brief guidance (scoping) reports to identify constraints and opportunities.
