Ecological Scoping & Desk Study

Ecological scopingOatlands Ecology can quickly advise on the potential ecological issues likely to be considered by the Local Planning Authority prior to a site visit.

From the interpretation of aerial photography and relevant ecological data we can:

  • Identify broad habitat types and potentially sensitive ecological features (e.g. ponds and water courses) within and adjacent to the site
  • Identify the location of designated sites
  • Identify the known locations of protected species
  • Assess the likely relationships & connectivity between the site and nearby ecological receptors

From this information Oatlands Ecology can assess the potential ecological sensitivity of a site and advise on the ecological input likely to be required by the Local Planning Authority prior to granting planning permission.

Ideal for pre-purchase assessments, this assessment can be carried out at any time of year.
