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