<h1>When You'll Need Us</h1>
<p>The most common reason you may need the services of an ecologist is that a building project
(development proposal) has been identified as having the potential to have an impact on important or
legally protected wildlife (species and habitats). In this situation an architect, planning agent or
planning
authority has concluded that an ecological survey and assessment is required to support a planning
application. Some local planning authorities have checklists or guidance that can assist in identifying
ecological requirements.</p>
<p>You need to be aware that some types of survey cannot be undertaken in certain seasons or weather
conditions. For example some types of bat survey cannot be undertaken when bats are in hibernation
over the winter months. Discuss the timetable for your project with your architect, planning agent or
ecologist as soon as possible in order to take account of any constraints due to ecological survey and
assessment requirements.</p>
<h2>Why do I need an ecological survey to apply for planning permission?</h2>
<p>You will need an ecology survey because there is
legislation in place to protect certain species and habitats around the UK. A build cannot go ahead without
necessary mitigation schemes in place, nor without details of how habitat destruction will be avoided,
reduced or mitigated. Failure to consider biodiversity impact can result in legal implications,
including heavy fines and prison sentences. What's more, failure to address certain aspects as laid out in
planning permission applications can result in your development plan being refused straight away.</p>
<h2>What can ecological surveyors do?</h2>
<p>An ecology surveyor will be able to conduct desk and field surveys to identify the existence of, or potential
presence of, a protected species or habitat. Their findings can be presented in a report which will cover:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Whether or not the project will threaten a habitat</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Reports of any findings during the initial scoping survey</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Any data discovered during the preliminary ecological
appraisal</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A report on how any building work may affect habitats
(ecological impact assessment)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Any mitigation strategies should any evidence of protected species or
habitat be found</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>A detailed ecological report will be written at the end of the
process, to be provided to planning authorities once all surveys have been completed. </p>
<h2>What is an ecological report?</h2>
<p>An ecological report is a final document presented by licensed
ecologists where they provide insight on their findings based on the surveys completed on site. Ecology
reports cover every aspect of ecological impact and can provide mitigation strategies that can then be
presented to local planning authorities.</p>
