Our Developer Services
Early ecological input is most valuable before layouts are fixed and reports are commissioned.
Our Level 1 services help developers make clear, informed decisions early — saving time, cost, and redesign later.
Level 1 Services
Early Site Feasibility
Habitat Viability Review
Early Site Feasibility
A clear, early review of site constraints to establish whether a site is likely to be viable for development and worth the investment of formal reporting.
This typically includes a site walkover and consideration of habitats, soils, slope, access, and obvious planning sensitivities, with jargon-free advice on risks, limitations, and next steps.
Adaptive Design Advice
Habitat Viability Review
Early Site Feasibility
Flexible, early-stage advisory support provided as site layouts are developed. This service allows emerging designs to be quickly sense-checked against site constraints, ground and soil conditions, access, and spatial assumptions, with clear, practical feedback to inform design direction. The focus is on identifying issues early and reducing late-stage redesign and costly report rewrites.
Habitat Viability Review
Habitat Viability Review
Habitat Viability Review
A ground-led, early-stage review of which proposed habitat ideas are realistically viable on a site, based on soil conditions, drainage, slope, exposure, and existing vegetation. The focus is on identifying what is likely to work in practice, and what is at risk of failure, before designs are fixed or formal ecological or Biodiversity Net Gain assessments are commissioned.
