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).

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.
EMEC can provide management plans tailored to the specific requirements of its clients. EMEC’s capability includes:
- A full range of ecological surveys to inform management planning
- Management plans for sites, habitats and species which provide realistic, practical recommendations to meet achievable management goals
- Plans for nature conservation; to offset development impacts; satisfy planning conditions and improve the “sustainability” of projects
- Plans following specific formats, e.g. English Nature’s ‘Minimum Management Plan’
- Strategies for control of invasive species
- Habitat creation schemes
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.
