Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an ecology survey for planning?
Most Local Planning Authorities now require a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal as standard.
Without one, your application may face delays or refusal.

Once booked, our surveyor will attend your site as soon as possible — usually within
a few days. You’ll receive the completed report within 7–10 days.

Do you cover Scotland?
Our HQ is in Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. We have directly employed consultants
across Scotland and an office in London, serving clients nationwide.

Can you help with Biodiversity Net Gain?
Yes. Our founder literally wrote the book on it —
Greenprints for Growth: Your Guide to Biodiversity Net Gain in Planning.
We provide BNG assessments, metric calculations, habitat management plans and ongoing support.

Do you work with homeowners or just developers?
Both. Whether you’re extending your home or building 200 houses, we’re set up to help.
