We offer a professional and pragmatic service that supports your goals while protecting nature

Preliminary Ecological Appraisals

A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) is often the first step in the planning process. A PEA helps identify any potential ecological constraints to a development early on, combining a desk-based review with a site walkover survey to assess habitats and the potential for protected species.  This provides valuable baseline information, helping to inform design and decision-making from the outset.

  • Preliminary Roost Assessments (PRAs)
