OFFERING ECOLOGY EXPERTISE

DISCERNING, PRACTICAL GUIDANCE TO DE-RISK YOUR PROJECTS

At DM, we take an efficient approach, working with designers and engineers to avoid unnecessary surveys and licence requirements.

By providing practical solutions at the feasibility stage, we unlock your programme and delivery from seasonal surveys and consenting constraints wherever possible.

We are able to give advice from the outset of your project, ensuring appropriate ecological surveys are part of your project plan. We advise on optioneering to avoid or minimise potential impacts to ecological receptors and we will design ecological mitigation. Early engagement with our team is always recommended to ensure early identification of ecological constraints.

From initial design through to construction stage, the DM team will:

Identify ecological constraints
Carry out appropriate surveys and assessments
Obtain licences and consents
Provide ecological supervision during the works
Assist with habitat enhancement, creation and management.
