Project Management and support/
A complete service
Scoping
Assessing your project at the outset for early opportunities and constraints ensures that we fully consider matters of local importance for you. A good start to a project needs a wide-angled vision, and we can help you to uncover critical issues at the start and avoid expensive design changes later.
e.g. Land management Audit
Client: Wight Salads - Isle of Wight, Kent and Sussex
Protected areas & protected species
The Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 and the Countryside & Rights of Way Act 2000 requires us all to think carefully about impacts on specially protected sites, landscape and heritage features and scheduled species (Dormouse, Red Squirrel, Great Crested Newt, Badger, Barn Owl, Slow Worm etc.). We can guide you through the right procedures in the right way and at the right time.
e.g. Dormouse survey search & rescue -
Client: Southern Electric - cable replacement
e.g. Reptile survey search & rescue -
Client: South East England Development Agency - brown field redevelopment
e.g. Great Crested Newt mitigation work and habitat design -
Client: KingsOak - new housing
Survey
Whether it's flora and fauna or habitats and landscape, base-line data is essential. We can help you collect and use the information you need.
e.g. Ecological assessment -
Client: Aggregate Industries (UK) Ltd. - restored quarry site
e.g. Phase 1 Habitat Survey -
Client: South East England Development Agency - brown field redevelopment
e.g. Botanical, mammal (Badger, Dormouse, Bats), reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate surveys.
Client: David Wilson Homes - new housing
e.g. Freshwater Biology
Client: Isle of Wight Council - urban extension
Landscape Design and Delivery
So much development is let down by unimaginative and wasteful landscaping. We can help you to design and create a style that will not only appeal to your user groups but will complement and enhance your project's environmental conservation and mitigation work.
e.g. Ecohomes Assessment
Client: Kings Oak - housing development
e.g.Creation of ecology 'zone' with Management and Landscape Plan
Client: CampbellReith - brownfield redevelopment
e.g.Creation of ecology 'zone' with Management and Landscape Plan
Client: CampbellReith - brown field redevelopment
Environmental Impact Assessment
Your project may require an Environmental Statement, it may require an Appropriate Assessment. These often seem daunting obstacles; we can help you not only to see them through but to extract real benefits for the successful delivery of your project.
e.g. EIA and ES
Client: Vectis Ventures - theme park extension
Mitigation, compensation, Section 106
Get the right balance between on-site environmental protection, mitigation, compensation, planning agreements and conditions can be difficult and potentially expensive. We can help you to design the right scheme, balanced and fit for purpose. We can talk to key agencies such as Natural England and the Environment Agency and help to establish a constructive dialogue from the start.
e.g Mitigation planning
Client: Isle of Wight Council - development partner brief for Urban extension
e.g Mitigation / compensation design
Client: South East England Development Agency - Riverside development including SSSI and SAC designations.
