Ecology Advice and Due Diligence

At Fenland Ecology, we specialise in providing expert ecology advice and due diligence services to support your development projects. Our goal is to guide you through the planning process by reviewing your project and existing background information to ensure that you meet regulatory and planning requirements. By engaging with us early in your project, you can avoid costly delays and ensure compliance with ecological legislation.

Why Ecology Advice and Due Diligence is Important

Ecology advice and due diligence are essential components in the early stages of any development. Without proper ecological assessment and guidance, your project could face challenges related to protected species, sensitive habitats, or local planning policies. We work closely with developers, architects, and planners to provide accurate and timely advice, allowing your project to move forward smoothly.

When considering ecology advice and due diligence, it’s crucial to take into account both local and national environmental policies and wildlife legislation. These policies are designed to protect important ecological features, ensuring that development occurs sustainably alongside the protection and enhancement of biodiversity. At Fenland Ecology, we take a comprehensive approach, reviewing existing data and identifying any potential ecological risks to your project.

Advice and Due Diligence

1. Initial Consultation:

Our service begins with an in-depth discussion of your project. We aim to understand your objectives and any ecological considerations that may affect your development. We will review any relevant background information, including publicly available ecology data, previous ecological surveys and reporting.

2. Site Review:

Once we have gathered the necessary information, we may progress to conducting a thorough review of your site. This would typically involve a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal to assess existing ecological conditions, identify any potential constraints, and provide insight into how these might affect the planning process.

3. Legislation and Policy Compliance:

A key component of ecology advice and due diligence is ensuring that your project complies with relevant legislation and planning policies. We review the ecological aspects of your project in light of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, the Habitats Regulations, the Environment Act and any local planning requirements. This allows us to provide clear advice on what steps need to be taken to achieve compliance.

4. Recommendations and Next Steps:

Based on our review, we provide detailed recommendations for further actions. These may include additional ecological surveys, mitigation strategies, or adjustments to your project design to minimise ecological impacts. Our goal is to ensure that you have a clear path toward planning approval while safeguarding important ecological features.
