When you need it

Common project triggers

Usually needed where planning, design, compliance, property, transaction or site delivery decisions depend on clear Ecology input. It is best raised early when deadlines, planning conditions, tender dates or site mobilisation pressure could otherwise create avoidable delay.

Mandatory or not

Where it fits in the process

Not automatically mandatory on every project. It becomes necessary where the planning authority, Building Control, a regulator, lender, purchaser, landlord, design team or project risk position requires this information before the next decision can be made.

What this service is designed to deliver

  • A clear review route for the Ecology requirement
  • Practical advice on the information needed, likely constraints and next steps
