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.

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).
EMEC specialises in Ecological Assessment and provides:
- Scoping studies
- A full range of ecological surveys to provide baseline data
- Concise and accurate reports following Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (IEEM) guidelines
- Design of ecological impact mitigation and compensation measures
- Input into Masterplans and site layout
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.

Ecological Survey, Audit & Monitoring
Survey, Audit and Monitoring provide much of EMEC’s business. Survey and Audit to establish what habitats and species occur on any site; Monitoring to establish the effects of the development and management strategies that have been undertaken.
