Our ecology team works closely with planning specialists to provide improvements to the natural environment

Heatons ecologists are experienced in preliminary ecological assessments and subsequent surveys for protected species as well as completing Ecological Impact Assessments for projects requiring EIA.

Our specialist knowledge includes surveys for bats, badgers, great crested newts, barn owls, otters, dormouse and breeding birds and we can draw on our network of specialist contacts to support our clients with more unusual circumstances.

We are pragmatic and proactive, ensuring that potential ecological considerations are fully accounted for and addressed early on.
