What is an Ecology Survey?
Our ecology surveys in London assess the animals and plants in an area. This includes their interactions with each other and their habitat. Ecology surveys in London are carried out to create an inventory of all living organisms and ecological features in a specific area. The purpose of undertaking an ecology survey is to help understand the dynamics of the ecosystem and identify any potential impacts, risks and constraints of potential developments on the landscape and the species living within it. A number of these ecology surveys are used to assist local planning authorities and developers in establishing what the next steps are to mitigate the impact on the surrounding environment.

Once the survey has been completed, a report will put together your documentation. This will clearly show the results from the survey. This documentation will be sent in the form of a PDF or a physical copy of the report, if required.
