We also bring in trusted specialists and associate contractors for specific tasks—so you always have the right expertise on hand.
A team you can trust—and actually talk to
You’ll have a single point of contact from day one—a senior ecology project manager backed by a responsive team of CIEEM-registered ecologists, specialists, and support staff.
We’ll pick up the phone when things get tricky. We’ll visit you on site when needed. And we’ll never hide behind jargon or emails when a conversation is what’s needed to find the right solution.
We know your work is time-sensitive, high-stakes, and often under public or regulatory scrutiny. That’s why we prioritise:
-
Clear communication
-
Fast, honest guidance
-
Solutions that work in the real world
We understand the challenges you face:
Trying to balance heritage protection with ecological legislation and development needs
Delays caused by seasonal constraints, surveys, or protected species issues
Confusing and shifting guidance on Biodiversity Net Gain and planning compliance
Fear of making the wrong call—and suffering costly delays or reputational damage
Juggling multiple consultants, deadlines, stakeholders, and sustainability demands
You’re not alone—and you shouldn’t have to figure it all out yourself.
Ecological requirements shouldn’t feel like an obstacle course. Whether you’re managing a historic estate, overseeing a conservation project, or delivering a new development, navigating planning regulations, protected species legislation, and Biodiversity Net Gain obligations can be a daunting process.
At Land & Heritage, our ecology team is here to guide you through it—with clarity, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the pressures you’re under.

-
Create clear, defensible strategies for planners, regulators, and stakeholders
-
Achieve your conservation and sustainability goals without sacrificing timelines
-
Translate legislation into simple, practical steps that help you move forward
We’re not just here to tick boxes—we’re here to help you make good decisions that protect both the environment and the progress of your project.
