EMEC's experience is wide ranging and extensive. We can offer many services some of which include:


Protected Species

Many species are protected by law at national and/or European level. The presence of such species can be a material consideration when Planning Authorities are determining applications for developments or capital works. Proper concern for these species and effective mitigation can help proposals satisfy the “sustainability agenda” and greatly increase their chance of securing consent.
                           

The first step is to determine whether protected species are present. EMEC undertakes surveys for the following:

  • Badger
  • Bats
  • Birds
  • Common Dormouse
  • Great Crested Newt
  • Higher and lower plants
  • Invertebrates
  • Otter
  • Reptiles
  • Water Vole
  • White-clawed Crayfish
When protected species are found, EMEC can provide advice on the next step. Its capability includes:
  • Interpreting species protection legislation and advising on legal compliance
  • Licence applications
  • Species protection and mitigation (including site design management, construction programming and translocation)
  • Species and site monitoring


Ecological Impact Assessment

Ecological Impact Assessment is the assessment of the effect of a proposed action on plants and animals and the environments in which they occur. Increasingly, this is a prerequisite for development, either independently or as part of a wider Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

Management Planning for Sites, Habitats and Species

Most habitats in the UK require management to maintain their ecological value. Many species also depend on management to provide a continuation of the conditions upon which they depend.
