Ecological surveys for planning - fast!

Located in Newcastle upon Tyne, we provide ecological surveys, including bat surveys, to support planning applications. We are based in the North East of England working primarily in North Tyneside, Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Northumberland.

The ecological surveys we provide include:

Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEAs)

To avoid planning delays, get a preliminary ecological appraisal done as early as possible in the planning process. If your local government ecologist doesn't get sight of your planning proposal at the start of the process you may be asked for ecological surveys just when you had hoped for a planning decision . This can delay your development by several months, so act early!

By undertaking a preliminary ecological appraisal our ecologists can quickly establish the baseline ecology of your site and the need for any further survey work. Preliminary ecological appraisals start from just £595.

Protected Species Surveys
Protected species include bats, great crested newts, reptiles, badgers, otters, water voles and white-clawed crayfish. We work with a number of licensed ecologists who can undertake protected species surveys and devise appropriate mitigation and management to ensure you get through the planning process successfully.

Bat surveys start from just £295.
