About us

We deliver ecology surveys across the UK, working in urban, rural and brownfield environments. Our nationwide coverage is supported by strong local knowledge, allowing us to tailor our advice to site conditions and local planning authority expectations.

Ecology Surveys UK is a professional ecological consultancy providing reliable, planning-compliant ecological surveys for developments across England. We support homeowners, developers, architects and planning consultants with clear ecological advice that helps reduce delays and support successful planning outcomes.

Our team of experienced ecologists delivers proportionate, site-specific surveys aligned with current planning policy, environmental legislation and local authority requirements. From small residential extensions to large commercial and infrastructure projects, we provide practical solutions tailored to the scale and location of each development.

Clear Communication & Reliable Support

We pride ourselves on being straightforward, responsive and easy to work with. Ecology can feel complex, particularly for those new to the planning process, so we focus on clear communication and practical advice at every stage.

Creativity

We approach each project with fresh ideas, combining artistic design with functional solutions to craft outdoor spaces that reflect your vision and needs.

We offer a comprehensive range of Ecology Surveys.
