Our surveys

Preliminary or Phase 1 Surveys are now compulsory. We make every effort to anticipate the requirements of detailed or Phase II surveys, keeping costs and delays to a minimum and ensuring they are fully acceptable to the Regulator.  We recognise how survey costs can add up and, wherever possible, we’ll synchronise survey planning with your resources, making intelligent use of new technologies to optimise efficiency and reduce risk, cost and delays.

The benefits of our approach

  • A high success rate of planning consent
  • Reduced risk of project delays and associated cost
  • Competitive survey price
  • Added value – as well as the ecological constraints we’ll identify opportunities for biodiversity gain
