Frequently asked questions
-
How do I know working with you won’t add risk to my project or damage my reputation?We understand the stakes. That’s why our team prioritises both technical accuracy and regulatory foresight—we’ve never had a project fail due to compliance gaps. Our clients, including large infrastructure firms and national trusts, rely on us for our reputation as a safe pair of hands. Plus, we’re trusted by regulators because we collaborate proactively rather than reactively. Every deliverable is defensible, audit-proof, and tailored to reduce exposure to public or political scrutiny.
-
How quickly can you deliver ecological and heritage assessments for planning submissions?We know time is critical—especially when one delay can cost weeks or months. Our consultancy is agile by design. Unlike larger firms that often struggle with internal bottlenecks, we can deploy localised teams quickly and coordinate across disciplines internally. Our clients benefit from a responsive workflow that meets planning deadlines without cutting corners on rigour or compliance. We also stay on top of evolving policies like Biodiversity Net Gain, so you’re not caught out last-minute.
-
How can you help us balance heritage preservation with ecological sustainability—without compromising either?We specialise in exactly that balance. Our integrated, multidisciplinary approach combines ecology, landscape design, and heritage expertise—so you’re not forced to choose between conservation and sustainability. We consider the entire site systemically—its history, ecology, and future resilience. This means you get a strategy that enhances biodiversity without undermining heritage, and vice versa. We’ve helped clients like the South West Lakes Trust and historic estates create nature-positive, regulator-approved plans that also honour cultural identity.
-
What happens if we delay ecological or heritage planning—can’t we wait until the design phase is further along?Delaying environmental planning is the most costly decision you can make. Doing nothing isn’t neutral—it’s a gamble. The longer you wait, the greater the risk of discovering constraints (like protected species or heritage conflicts) that could derail your project. Early intervention doesn’t just reduce delays, it gives you more design flexibility, stronger funding applications, and greater confidence with regulators. We've helped clients uncover risks early and turn them into opportunities—before they became roadblocks.
-
What makes you different from other environmental consultants offering similar services?Unlike many consultancies that specialise in just one area—ecology, landscape, or heritage—we can bring all three together. This holistic view allows us to unlock synergies that others miss. We don’t offer “one-size-fits-all” assessments. We build site-specific strategies grounded in real-world constraints and future-proof thinking. Our clients often save money and reduce risk by working with us instead of managing multiple consultants and disjointed advice.
