They appreciate our straightforward explanations of complex situations, pragmatic advice, attention to detail and prompt and efficient delivery of Ecological reports. Please email or call us to discuss your requirements. As a starting point, we'll need an outline of the problem/situation with plans if possible. Once we have all the information we need, we'll send you a quote; usually within 48 hours.

We work to high professional standards, incorporating a strong ethical approach in conjunction with industry good practice, but recognise the need for pragmatism in finding creative solutions to clients' needs that don't compromise our high standards.

We have built up excellent working relationships with local authorities, architects and clients and as a consequence, a very high percentage of our work comes from repeat business. Finally, we believe that good communication, reliability and a personable, friendly approach is an important element in developing good working relationships and achieving successful planning and biodiversity outcomes.
