Ecological Consultancy

We offer a full range of ecological consultancy services including:

Protected Species Survey

There are a number of protected species in the UK. AMC ecological can work alongside you if you are considering developing a site, or carrying out works on an existing site, to advise you on the following:

• Which species should be surveyed for to ensure the project is not delayed because of specific restrictions to protect the environment; 
• The most appropriate surveys that would need to be carried out to ensure all regulations are met; 
• Advise on the best times of the year to survey individual species. 
• Support you in ensuring that planning for protected species issues is undertaken at the earliest stage of a project so that the project is not delayed because of legislation.

AMC Ecological Consultants are qualified and licenced to carry out surveys for a variety of protected species including bats and great crested newts as well as carrying out marine surveys. For professional, friendly advice please do not hesitate to contact us.

Habitat Surveys

Phase One/Extended Phase One Habitat Surveys. The Phase one habitat survey is the most basic and widely used form of habitat mapping. AMC Ecological Consultants can help you by producing maps that form the basis of the evaluation of any site. They classify blocks of land into broad vegetation types and current land uses. Invaluable when ensuring your project meets the basic requirements of legislation. AMC Ecological surveys can help you determine if you need to carry out extended phase one surveys. These often form the basis of ecological assessments as part of planning applications. The survey will identify protected species and other ecological components of the site in addition to vegetation types. We offer a full range of habitat surveys and mapping using the latest GIS mapping tools and software. For more information contact us.
